WHY YOU CAN'T MISS THIS DATA CENTER EVENT

What You'll Takeaway From The Conference And Key Questions Asked

  • Power and cooling are one the largest, critical segments of the data center industry, what innovations are making operations run more efficiently today?
  • What are practical DCIM tools that can be applied within your data center to reduce total cost of ownership?
  • High performance computing is increasing in adoption - what implications does this have on power usage,  server design and efficiency?
  • What are the impacts on uptime availability, resiliency, sustainability, and power costs of ever-higher power densities and cooling requirements?
  • Air cooling, liquid cooling, immersion cooling? Which technique is best when considering increasing density, cost and scale? Which deployments are we seeing and where?
  • Power generation and demand is at the forefront in Northern Virginia. What approaches are developers applying to ensure they have power at their facilities?
  • How is the conversation around diesel generator and alternative sources like small modular reactor nuclear generation changing?
  • What tools and practices are data center operators applying to not only manage the facility, but help train up the workforce to ensure uptime is maintained?

 

How You'll Do More Business From Attending: Dive into power, cooling, density, DCIM trends that industry experts are currently adopting, and how to optimize your data center for the most optimal performance. With rack densities increasing and capacity continuing to hit limitations, maximizing what you have currently and running it efficiently will be a key differentiating factor.
