Panel Discussion: Regional Balance How do Government policies and strategies encourage data centre investment and growth in India?

The successful deployment of datacentres is a key contributor to India’s digital future. Globally, history suggests that the deployment works best locally and nationally when there are policies and strategies which match the need for data centre services with the availability of providers. How will Governments influence the future growth of data centres? Which new growth factors and technologies should influence their thinking?

Panel Discussion: Are data centres too risk averse to be truly innovative?

As data centers continue to play a core role in the digital world, 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 and balanced against risk?

Panel Discussion: Are India’s data centres ready for the coming ‘Era of Digital Connectivity’?

Connectivity is a key requirement for data centres as the services it provides are only as good as the quality of the transmission to businesses, customers and individuals. The expectation of lower latency, higher reliability, greater speed and processing power is increasing in line with user reliance. Data centres are very much part of this transition so how can they be prepared inside and out to focus on data storage, protection and processing and also on best practice in distribution as well?
