IT operations experts to guide an audience of more than 1,500 senior decision-makers from US data-center scale enterprises through the maze of transformative IT architectures at DCD>Enterprise on March 14-15 at the landmark Marriott Marquis Times Square. 

One of the event’s high-profile sessions on hybrid computing sees Dan Gaffney, Director Global Critical Facilities at BNY Mellon, Herb Alvarez, Director Global Engineering & Critical Facilities - AIG, Lee Kirby, President, Uptime Institute and Rob McClary, COO at Fortrust examine the complexities of delivering operational consistency across compute models.

Continuous change

“More companies today are looking to hybrid IT to move their businesses forward,” says Robert McClary, COO at Fortrust Data Centers. “Identifying the right resources and solutions to build a solid hybrid strategy becomes a top priority.”

“Enterprise IT today finds it increasingly difficult to manage their environments to consistently deliver business-critical services across multiple modes,” notes Lee Kirby, President, Uptime Institute. “The complexities of hybrid IT make keeping up with the velocity of continuous change difficult. The objective of bringing together the best possible performance outcomes is a key infrastructure planning and operations management challenge.”

“The challenge for many is to ensure that in the pursuit of hybrid perfection they do not end up creating Frankenstein’s monster by accident,” says Giovanni Zappulo, DCD>Enterprise producer.
