"In 2016, what part of your datacenter will still be comparable to today?"
Building on the success of previous years, DatacenterToday is back in Brussels for the seventh year in succession. The DatacenterToday Conference & Expo has positioned itself in recent years as the largest gathering of professionals working on the design, building and management of 24/7 Mission Critical IT facilities.
A unique event where education and networks converge. This year, we expect to see over 200 professionals. Virtualization of storage-server-desktops, as well as converging applications, concentration and green IT resulted in a constantly changing face for the modern, efficient data centre in 2009. Watch the sliding focus: more impact from the virtualisation and from the efforts into cloud computing, measured along our 5 axes !

Gartner predicted that the role of the datacentre manager will become even more difficult in 2011-2012. Problems relating to energy, space and technology will have even more impact on the costs and management of any datacenter.
The programme of the Datacenter Today conference will keep results-driven datacenter professionals informed about the latest strategies and developments to help them tackle the major challenges facing the datacenter industry in the next 5 years. The following 5 themes are now the basis from which other topics will be explored.
- Improve energy efficiency & More green IT
- Build more Automated Service provisioning or Migrate to the hybrid cloud
- Improve DC-Infrastructure and Measure-Monitor-Manage more & better
- Consolidation and Virtualization: for servers, storage and desktops
- The Impact of Regulations & Risks, of Compliancy & Standards: GRC in reality
