New York MARRIOTT MARQUIS

 

The 10th annual DatacenterDynamics Converged New York conference was the biggest yet with over 1,500 data center professionals gathering from the New York region on Tuesday 12th March. Topics included the lessons learned from Superstorm Sandy, cooling guidelines from ASHRAE, the latest industry research findings, and risk management planning for data centers

Colonel Jack Jacobs, recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor and a Vietnam War veteran, who is currently a military analyst for MSNBC, kicked off the event with a presentation on lessons the data center industry can learn from the military about mission-criticality and preparedness for unexpected crises.

Jacobs' keynote was followed by a panel on critical-incident response and preparation, where he was joined by Ron Shindel, managing director and chief security officer at L&L Holdings, owner and operator of some of the most prestigious real estate in Manhattan. Also on the panel were Rich Rotanz, with the Applied Science Foundation for Homeland Security, and Peter Curtis, president and CEO of Power Management Concepts.

The exhibition hall was buzzing with activity. Romonet and Active Power announced new releases at the event. Romonet announced the introduction of Portal, its cloud-based financial-analysis software for data centers to the North American market, and Active Power unveiled thelatest models of its containerized electrical-infrastructure solutions for data centers called PowerHouse.

General Electric Company (GE), also unveiled its new business unit focused solely on the mission-critical space. To learn more about GE's increased focus on the data center space read the article on our website.

 PresentationPLAYBACK

Viewing presentations after a DatacenterDynamics conference

Registered attendees of an event are able to access the majority of the material presented after an event. We are introducing a new system - PresentationPLAYBACK - which enables you to listen to a full sound recording of the session along with the PowerPoint and any associated movies in a single file.

You will therefore need to have a recent version of Adobe Flash Player installed on your computer in order to view them (Google Chrome Users need not worry about this, as it's pre-built-in). Although we now endeavour to record all presentations in this format, occasionally - for technical reasons beyond our control - it is not possible to fully capture all sessions; in such cases you will only be able to view a PDF.

To access PresentationPLAYBACK you must be signed into your account. Click on the MyDCD button on the top navigation panel which will take you to your personal homepage - on the right hand column you will find an area headed 'My Presentations'. Here are listed the conferences you have access to (see access and restrictions below). The links will take you to the programme page of that conference, and by clicking on a session you will be taken to the individual conference asset where you will find the feature. Alternatively you can navigate to the conference site you wish and acess the file directly from there - remember you must be signed in.

DatacenterDynamics Conference sessions with this feature available will display the PresentationPLAYBACK icon:

The player is simple to use. Click on the play button for automatic playback, or advance through the slides.

The conference presentations you can view depend on your membership level.
