Mumbai Cloud & Datacenter Convention & Awards Show Returns November 2024
The Indian Data Center & Cloud Market is taking giant leaps.
India is the second fastest-growing digital economy and it is projected that IT and Communications sector will double in size by 2025 to contribute US $355-435 billion to GDP. Nevertheless, nothing worth having comes easy!
Along with this exponent potential for growth in the Data Center, Cloud and Cyber Security market come the test of Performance, Flexibility concerns, Power management, Data Center staff productivity, Security & more…..
There are inherent limits to what Data Centres, Cloud & Cybersecurity can do! As tech enthusiast, we at W.Media will make sure that you all are well versed with all the current & future updates of the industry. This Physical Conference will take you through the pressing reformations of Datacentres, Cloud & Cybersecurity mitigations and how they are framing the future.
What is the most likely projected level of growth for data centres in the Mumbai region? How is this likely to impact resources including energy (grid and renewable), water, money for build and operation, skills, construction resources, data centre hardware and software, other resources? What medium and longer-term planning is required to ensure the availability of sufficient digital infrastructure to meet demand.
How far advanced are Mumbai data centres in terms of providing capacity for demand arising from AI deployment? Is AI seen just as a source of demand or as a possible operational solution? Why/why not? How will the role of AI change over the next few years?
How is an ‘AI data centre’ different from other data centres in terms of design and operation? What are the specific requirements of fit out to prepare for an AI workload? How is it possible for data centre equipment to future proof?
How and why do colocation providers change the services they offer to market? How will the drivers change? How are colocation providers likely to respond?
What are the current estimates in different types of data centre of how much power is lost from the point at which it is generated to the point at which it will be consumed? What are the key causes of wastage?How can wastage be reduced by operational and strategic initiatives? How does drawing power from renewable sources change the profile and solution of power wastage?
How, broadly, will Mumbai’s data centres change over the next 5 years? What will these changes mean for how the region’s data centres will need to deal with cooling/heat removal? Will current cooling technologies and methods be sufficient for the task? If not, what advances are required?
What are the key pieces of recent and upcoming legislation that the industry needs to be aware of? What does each of them (possibly) mean? Will they be growth-friendly or restrictive?
How high a priority in data centre thinking is ‘downtime’? How is this changing and why? What are the key steps taken to reduce unplanned downtime? Are the current processes and the current thinking efficient in maintaining availability?
Where in data centres is automation most commonly being deployed? For what purposes? What can be learned from comparing where it is effective and where it is less so? How can successful automation strategies be developed?
How far has Edge rolled out as a delivery architecture in Mumbai? Who is leading in the deployment of this technology? How far has the adoption of AI progressed? How is AI being deployed? How will it be? Is Edge seen as a key means of deploying AI? Why/why not? In which situations will be it most effective?
How has the level of cyber threats changed over the past few years? What has caused these changes? How has digitalization changed the processes of data centre operation? Have cyber-defence protocols changed as fast as the sources of threat?
How ready is the Mumbai market for the increase in hyperscale facilities? How well will hyperscalers meet the expected growth in demand? What will this mean for enterprise in Mumbai and for other Infrastructure options – on-prem and colocation in particular?
To what extent are rack densities rising in local data centres and networks? How is this being managed? What are the roles of strategies to access more power, consume less power, colocate or migrate footprint, other options? How will this situation evolve into the future?
How is blockchain currently being used in the operation of local data centres? How else might it be used across the industry? Which factors will drive the use of blockchain?
Where do the responsibilities for delivering on sustainability outcomes currently lie? How does this vary by different areas of sustainability? Is the current alignment of responsibility effective? Where does it work, where does it not? Can data centres in Mumbai deliver without the involvement of external players?
Where currently are the areas of shortage in finding suitably qualified staff for local data centres? How have the critical areas of shortage changed? Are digital technologies the answer for data centres? If not, why not?
What public awareness is there across Mumbai of what data centres are and what they do? What is the image and opinion of data centres? What evidence is there for this? Does this image/opinion matter? If it does, why?
