Evolution of the Datacentre: Consolidation, Virtualisation and Cloud

This event requires registration: http://www.uk.idc.com/Datacentre12

Datacentres are going through a period of disruption and transformation. From being locked down facilities with stable and regular workload needs they are now dealing with an explosion in demand for compute, storage and networking power as well as the impact of virtualisation and cloud computing.

Many of the organisations are facing increased pressure cut datacentre costs in order to invest elsewhere. But is this a realistic expectation? As IT organisations face a wealth of technologies and approaches is it time to take a different approach to optimisation? What are the latest developments that will enable this objective to be met, whist managing the vast explosion in capacity requirement? Can solutions such as Virtualisation really drive out cost and increase flexibility and agility?

At IDC’s Evolution of the Datacentre conference where leading experts will share their advice about how to:
•Beyond the physical infrastructure – Improving reliability, flexibility and performance of the datacentre
•Consolidate – Virtualise – Cloud: Navigating the wealth of technologies to optimise your datacentre
