The three tracks at Uptime Institute Symposium 2013 are tailored to the three primary professional roles responsible for managing and influencing this Digital Infrastructure Evolution: Senior IT Executives, Data Center Management & Operations, and Data Center Designers/Engineers.
DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT AND BUSINESS STRATEGY
|
|
This track will feature senior executives from the largest enterprise IT operations in the world, discussing the economic implications of Digital Infrastructure projects and investments. Despite a sluggish economy, 55% of organizations are spending more on data centers over the previous year. But many companies are running out of capacity or flexibility and rely upon third-party compute services as well. A 2012 Uptime Institute survey of global owners revealed that 85% utilize colocation or hosting. Yet 54% had no confidence in their ability to compare outsourcing alternatives dependably. Digital Infrastructure executives must improve the effectiveness of their organizations' Digital Infrastructure investments. This track will focus on providing executives with the tools and methodology to gather data across the various divisions and disciplines within their organizations to make better decisions.
