A myriad of important issues will be on the agenda March 11 at DatacenterDynamics Converged New York. Industry experts, thought leaders and technologists will offer firsthand insight and advice on managing the evolution of a maturing data center.
The latest research from the Intelligence division of DatacenterDynamics identifies that the U.S. has one of the highest average facility ages in the world and, as a result, is fighting an ongoing battle to keep its armada of older facilities fit for purpose in today’s fast-changing, technology-driven data center world. American metropolitan areas with mature data center markets, including New York and the Tri-State, are finding that increasing proportions of budget are being spent on upgrading existing facilities, ensuring they continue to meet business drivers and are keeping up with the dynamic nature of IT requirements.
In addition, the research identifies that almost a quarter of all data center footprint in the U.S. is now outsourced. This represents a significant ongoing shift in the marketplace and one which is expected to continue.
Key findings of the recently released North America Data Center Key Trends Report 2013-2014 by DCD Intelligence (DCDi), will be included in a keynote address at DCD Converged New York. Stephen Worn, DatacenterDynamics CTO and Board Member, will present highlights from the report and give insight into trends on space, power, new technologies and investment across the data center industry in the U.S. and Canada.
"At DatacenterDynamics we are committed to ensuring our conference agendas reflect changes in the industry," states Kieron O’Brien, CEO of DatacenterDynamics North America. "With the growth in outsourcing across the U.S., increasing uptake of IT optimization strategies and the focus on operational expenditure concerns, we felt that it was important to widen the program of our flagship New York conference to cover the topics impacting data center professionals across New York and the Tri-State area.”
