Introduction
Data centres are under increasing pressure to deliver greater processing power, more storage and greater reliability. However UK enterprises are now facing new challenges with the introduction of the Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) legislation. From April 2010, Enterprises and Data Centres alike will be required to report on energy consumption, failure to do so could result in criminal penalties, however Information Age has recently reported that only a mere 40%* of IT leaders actually monitor their data centre’s energy use.
Staged annually and entering its 7th year, Information Age welcomed IT and business decision makers from the UK’s largest companies on the The Future of the Data Centre 2010. These included CIOs & IT directors, data centre managers and CTOs.
Our delegates received a rich experience with significant knowledge building and networking opportunities throughout the course of the day.
On the day delegates shared expertise and learned about unfolding developments
in the data centre arena. Among the issues covered in 2010 are:
• How to ensure that data centres evolve with business
• Efficiency & the impact of the CRC
• Reliability and security
• Data centre capacity in 2012 and beyond
There was also an opportunity for delegates to hear about innovative and powerful technologies that can help with the challenges above including:
• Remote desktop virtualisation
• Virtual private LAN services
• Private clouds
• Outsourcing data vs hosting
