CeBIT, the world’s largest IT event, has joined forces with DatacenterDynamics, a global provider of specialist data center conferences, to create the world’s largest truly international data center event at CeBIT in Hanover between March 16-20th 2015.
Themed “The Business of Data Centres”, the conference program will run over 5 days, and will feature a host of internationally renowned subject matter experts. The content will focus on helping IT professionals better understand the role of the modern data center as the ultimate business enabler and home to “the cloud” in all its forms.
The conference program will explore not only how modern data centers are designed, built and operated, but also how organizations should select data center and cloud infrastructure partners for their ever-increasing international growth requirements.
The 2015 conference program is split into 4 distinct tracks:
- Design + Strategy – Focused on the issues faced by senior decision makers responsible for the organizational strategy and design of on-premise data centers.
- IT + Networks – Focused on helping senior strategists understand the implications of IT and Network transformation on data center design and architecture.
- Critical Environment – Focused on the issues faced by professionals who manage the performance, efficiency and resilience of the critical environment.
- Sourcing + Delivery – Focused on helping senior IT professionals make effective global IT infrastructure sourcing decisions.
The Expo, housed in over 12,000sqm (!!) will mirror the diversity of the conference content, hosting the entire eco-system of product and solution vendors to the market. The organizers would already have significant commitment from the largest brands in the data center industry.
