Visions of the future… what will data centres look like by 2028

Looking at today’s ever-changing technology landscape it is a safe bet that the data centre of the future will be a very different proposition. Spurred by increasing demand for digital services and emerging technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), our panel of experts will discuss how the data centre will have to evolve to keep up to speed with innovation and the cloud-native end user.

Defending your data centre: A matter of life or death

This interactive panel will address security in the data centre, from a physical, network and software perspective, and highlight the criticality of effective protection and detection to ensure uptime should your facility come under attack from natural sources or otherwise. The discussion will also reference new innovations being applied in the sector to help combat security threats. Data Centre Design and Build & Physical Security Theatre | 21 Mar 2018 | 12:45 13:15

Predictive maintenance: Reducing downtime

Failure in the data centre can be a hugely disruptive and costly problem.

“The event has matured into a really compelling event that draws the wider industry together with relevant conference programmes now linking the different elements thematically.” Emma Fryer, Associate Director, techUK

Having started in 2008 with just 30 exhibitors, Data Centre World’s stature has grown with the industry that it serves. By 2014, just under 10,000 data centre professionals attended the event. In 2017, that had doubled to 19,926. Of that number, 95% said they would come again next year. Alice MacGregor, Editor, The Stack

DCW COVERS ALL THE TOP TOPICS...

NEW 2018 AI & MACHINE LEARNING STREAM

GDPR STREAM

Businesses are becoming more and more curious about the application and benefits of machine learning and artificial intelligence in enterprise – and so they should be! Whether using NLP, Computer vision or a range of AI techniques, here you can discover how you can find new trends and patterns from large and diverse data sets which can allow you to innovate, improve customer experience and automate business processes.

With the GDPR deadline fast approaching, the regulation will provide unique challenges and opportunities to organisations using cloud services. Come and learn how to be GDPR-ready in our dedicated stream.

DIVERSITY & TALENT STREAM

EDGE COMPUTING STREAM Discover how edge computing is streamlining the flow of traffic from IoT devices, providing real-time local data analysis and a whole data centre infrastructure to reduce latency.

Efforts to promote diversity and inclusion in the tech industry are increasing, but still we still have a long way to go. Hear from industry and government leaders talk about the most pressing matters. Recent reports also suggest that 83% of enterprise workloads will be in the Cloud by 2020, meaning the talent scarcity needs to be approached urgently. This stream will investigate how we can bridge this talent gap.
