Those operating data centers are now having to keep abreast of both increasing and exacerbated risks, including greater cybersecurity vulnerabilities as a result of automation and interconnect devices, supply chain insecurities and an increasingly unreliable grid.

In this panel discussion, speakers will debate whether current operational risk management protocols are sufficient to maximize uptime, or whether it is time to move to a new operating model. No data center is bullet proof, and how can data centers focus their investments on those risks that are more important to their customers? How can the value of data be maximized so that the approach can move from reactive to proactive? Speakers will share insights on how a written operations playbook can reduce risk for the whole organization, and how this can be managed alongside workforce challenges.
