The Event information will be released soon. Stay tuned!
This panel will look at a number of the key technologies including AI and I.T. that we can expect to see increasing their reach across Indian businesses and individuals in the near and longer-term future. What will their requirements mean for the design, built and fit-out of data centers in their path? How will these technologies assist in those processes?
Connectivity is becoming a key requirement for all sectors of the economy and society as the services they provide are shared with clients and stakeholder groups.How well are current networks meeting the key needs for lower latency, higher reliability, greater speed and the inclusion of non-metro industries and communities? This expert panel will look also at how the next generation of comms technology will impact connectivity nationally and locally and how it will impact also on the delivery of data centre and cloud services.
Over the next few years as digital demand increases, as 5G kicks in and densities increase, so data center owners and operators will need to look carefully at how they are cooling and removing heat from their racks. How far can air-based cooling play a role and how far will water and liquid based systems take up the requirement? This keynote will look at the impact on data center design and management of the trend toward liquid cooling as well as the drivers and the impediments to adoption.
While enterprise companies are the foundation of the entire data center/cloud ecosystem their own enterprise on-prem data centers have declined as a proportion of overall footprint. Yet they remain and still play a key digital role for many companies. Will this continue? How is their role driven by gaps left in what colocation and cloud provide? What path will India’s digital infrastructure take going forward?
As data centers continue to play a core role in a world that is becoming increasingly digital, so the description of the data center as ‘mission critical’ takes on added weight. Power is a critical factor in this role, without a reliable and resilient source of power a data center simply cannot function. Yet the path that power takes from generation, through distribution to consumption can also represent a major source of waste and therefore of inefficiency. What solutions and technologies can stem this inefficiency while maintaining necessary supply?
As larger numbers of businesses and individuals move further into digitalization, what role will Edge computing play in future IT delivery strategies? How will Edge adapt to the roles that it is expected to fulfill through technological evolution and deployment innovation?
The evolution of the processor is now one of the factors that will impact most on the future requirements and performance of data centers. The requirements of the processors required for AI will lead to increasing densities in data centers and estimates vary (considerably) as to the overall impact on data center capacity requirements. How is the technology of processors factoring in efficiency and utilisation?
Datacenter operations rely on metrics to determine efficiency, resilience and performance. While some such as PUE and the ‘five nines’ have been long established, others are more recent, So, where are the shortfalls in data center operational metrics? Why? How can these shortfalls be addressed?
As data centers continue to play a core role in a world that is becoming increasingly digital, so the description of the data center as ‘mission critical’ takes on added weight. The dependence of most sectors of the economy, of individuals and of Government and public service institutions on data centers and the ecosystem they enable adds to the impacts of service disruption in terms of cost, reputation, remedial strategies among other consequences. In this context, what role does innovation play across the life of the data center and how are innovation and ‘forward thinking’ delivered in order to meet the challenges of the future?
How will colocation providers need to adapt to the impact of future demand trends based on increasing Internet use and on the acceleration of digital transformation in its various forms? What will be the investment priorities in order to develop and maintain the services and infrastructure to stay ahead of a rapidly-evolving and changing market?
Data centers have long been accustomed to scrutiny of their energy consumption. Now, the focus has moved outside the data center to supply and procurement practices and beyond operation to the whole of the facility life. How can all of this be tracked and managed? And what, maybe, is next?
How will decisions in relation to investment and location be impacted by a changing investment environment and requirements? This expert panel will analyse and discuss how the risk and investment profile of different key markets across India and further afield are changing, now and into the longer term. How will the balance between Bangalore and other locations be altered?
Data centers no longer operate in a vacuum – as the digital world rolls out and as data ‘becomes the new oil’ so the key infrastructure required to make this possible commands greater attention. Strategic decisions in relation to data centers may be made by stakeholders well beyond the facility walls. How can data centers optimise their dealings with all relevant parties in order to ensure their place in Bangalore’s digital future?
