Not too long ago data centre and mission critical IT infrastructure were designed for constant loads and steady availability, now they are dynamic – Just like your business.

The transition from single tier, to multi-tier to dynamic tier is changing how we design and operate our mission critical infrastructure. Applications, hardware and physical infrastructure are following this rule: from servers that power down, to distributed applications, even to variable frequency drive fans. How will this affect how we plan for and build data centres, taking into account all the component parts and their configuration?

Join this unique session as we explore planning and coping with the demand peaks and troughs on enterprise, internet and cloud data centre configurations?

Participants:

A Data Centre designed and constructed from the principle of cogeneration and hydrogen fuel cell, offering the greatest possible energy efficiency benefits through the inclusion of a tri-generation cooling system and through the reduction of energy consumed by cooling altogether. The free-cooling system uses cooling equipment that can be deployed depending on the required temperature levels. Designed to offer Cloud Computing Services with a PUE under 1.11. No raised access floor with Power, Data and Cooling Overhead Distribution. Integration between IT Management Systems and Energy Infrastructure Management Systems.

Participants: Carlos Garcia

The session intends to engage with enterprises and service providers considering cloud deployments/enhancements. The session would give an overview of IT Challenges, the principles required to architect the cloud, a view into the cloud data centre architecture of the future and how to leverage the Intel Cloud builders program to make it easier to deploy cloud infrastructure based on specific IT usage models

Participants: Ashok Radhakrishnan

Over the last five years many large end-user organisations have built new facilities either as self-build or in conjunction with developers to meet regulations, to de-risk their businesses, and/or to provide further IT capacity.  Designing these facilities is often challenging. Standard formats and approaches to design are unusual, views taken on risk, site selection, commercial viability, and technical performance vary widely and can be heavily influenced by the relative strengths of the client’s own internal resource and structure. This session will show, with project examples, approaches to encompassing clients requirements and illustrate methods used to bring designs and projects to a successful conclusion.

The industry has seen how impactful the cloud has become.  With more and more organizations moving important information to the cloud, a simple question can be asked: are they doing it right?  While there may not be an concrete answer to this hypothetical, there are best practices that may be implemented in regards to security, SLAs, reliability and profitability.  In this session, we will come to grips with the questions your organization needs to ask before moving your mission-critical data and applications to the cloud.

Managing a dynamic and complex day center environment has never been this easy. With the right DCIM tools, data center managers have anytime, anywhere access to business intelligence across IT room, building’s electrical power and power quality, facility and data center cooling, and physical security and make quick and informed decisions.

• Simulate, plan and optimize utilization of actual physical infrastructure capacities to right-size the data centers
• Manage worklflow for easy tracking and executing moves, add ons and change equipment in the data center
• Get full insight into energy usage costs, current & historical energy efficiency for the facility, identifying efficiency losses and enabling improved PUE
• Cost analysis of energy use detailed to the rack level
• Easy configurable web dashboards showing data center key performance indicators on the go via tablet or smart phones

Cloud computing has huge implications on everything we do in this industry.  Data centres are an important foundational piece to the success of the cloud and clearly will be morphing how and what we think of as a data centre.  Emerging infrastructure designs, supply chain dynamics, compute performance, and efficiency metrics and monitoring already are going through transformational changes at a rate never seen before to accommodate lower cost, better sustainability and scale.  We now have an unprecedented opportunity to rethink the ecosystem and will have to if we want to continue to grow. This presentation will explore the possibilities in the future that are enabled by the cloud.

This panel discussion will examine energy efficiency best practices, design considerations and the latest technologies available

Participants: Ashok Hattangady, Abhishek Pratap, Sujeet Deshpande, Shaji Joseph and Ravi Megha

What is your infrastructure, operations and technology strategies? 　

How is the data centre and IT industry adapting to and keeping up with the changing face of business this decade through strategies like virtualization, consolidation, and The Cloud as well as changes that occur through renovating and upgrading your infrastructure? From new builds to retrofits, from collocation to Platform-as-a-Service, from Software-as-a-Service, to building your data centre capacity in the cloud -　 what are the options most appropriate to your organization? The panel explores an enterprise’s strategic options for accommodating its growing needs; weighing up the benefits, the risks and the performance characteristics of the different options, as well as the human resource considerations.

Gone are the days of constant loads and steady availability. Dynamic facilities and IT/Network infrastructures are now mandatory in order to manage enterprise change, consisting of unprecedented data growth, scalable applications, blurred network lines, and the intangible cloud. This is almost the ability to transition from the single tier, to the multi-tier to the dynamic tier. Control is no longer applied homogenously: it is hinged on the flexibility and scalability of technologies, infrastructure and operations.
