Session: Five Data Center Predictions for 2023

日期：2023 年 2 月 15 日 | 上午 10:30 – 上午 10:40 MYT

Speaker: Patrick Chan, Vice President, South Asia, Uptime Institute

Keynote: With capacity demand growing exponentially; how will new requirements for infrastructure be met?

日期：2023 年 2 月 15 日 | 上午 10:00 – 上午 11:00 EST

Speaker: Dr. Owen Rogers, Research Director, Cloud, Uptime Institute

Owen will outline the key trends taken from Uptime Institute’s 2022 Capacity Trends Survey including a focus on growing capacities among data center operators, increased hybrid IT awareness, and developing cloud cost concerns.

专题小组讨论会：How is workload densification changing the landscape for DCOps?

2023 年 2 月 15 日 | 上午 11:00 – 下午 12:00 EST

Speaker: Jacqueline Davis, Research Analyst, Uptime Institute

The densification of the average data center workload has been on the rise for a number of years now given the growing use of artificial intelligence, HPC and new computing paradigms on the horizon such as the metaverse.

But with hyperscalers now optimizing their facilities for AI, and the growth in the content-centric enterprise necessitating a requirement for everything from GPU compute to liquid immersion cooling, what will this mean for the future of data center design and more crucially, power and environmental operations?

This panel will address the challenge of operating mission-critical facilities in light of a denser footprint.

专题小组讨论会：The investment drive in data centre infrastructure within Africa

日期：2023 年 3 月 6 日 | 下午 4:30 - 下午 5:15 AT

Speaker: Mustapha Louni, Senior Vice President, Middle East, Africa & Greater India, Uptime Institute

Africa is riding on a crest of a wave, with major investment made over the last 12 to 24 months in new data centre infrastructure, and backed up by the incoming arrival of more hyper-scale cloud providers. With major investment being driven by international data centre operators, the continent is very much becoming a new frontier in the ICT infrastructure landscape. So what does this all mean for the region’s prospects in terms of interconnectivity in the coming years? We discuss:

• Carrier neutral selection: The investment driven into the carrier neutral market in Africa will increase to between $5–6bn over the next 3–5 years, according to a Balancing Act study in tandem with Console Connect. What implications will we see from the demand and buy side as a result of increased activity?
• Where do landlocked countries and more underserved markets fit into the equation?
• New long haul subsea projects and what it means for an interconnected ecosystem, as much as what it will do for increased bandwidth and capacity and the performance of applications such as content or mobile money

Session: Operational Risk: How to stay ahead of Financial regulatory requirements

日期：2023 年 3 月 9 日 | 上午 10:05 - 上午 10:30 GMT

Speaker: Ali Moinuddin, Managing Director, Europe, Uptime Institute

Mitigating digital infrastructure risk has never been more critical for financial services organizations. In response to outages at financial services firms and increasingly complex hybrid IT architectures in Europe and across the world, regulators have implemented new requirements designed to encourage more effective risk management practices. Learn how financial services firms and their IT service partners can more effectively assess their IT estate to mitigate digital infrastructure outage risks, support critical business services and manage regulatory compliance. Failure to comply with the new requirements could result in sanctions and financial penalties for both service providers and financial firms alike.

Sustainability – what we’ve learned and how to better manage 7x24 renewables commitments along with related pros and cons

日期：2023 年 3 月 9 日 | 上午 10:05 - 上午 10:30 GMT

Speaker: Andy Lawrence, Research Director, Uptime Institute

Datacloud session: How cloud adoption is enabling the digital economy

日期：2023 年 3 月 15 日 | 上午 9:30 - 上午 10:20 Brasilia Time

Speaker: Luis Andrade, Senior Consultant, Uptime Institute

The pandemic accelerated cloud adoption, but that acceleration shows no sign of abating post-pandemic. Meeting this demand necessitates collaboration between fibre players, data centre developers and cloud providers. This session will discuss:

• The value cloud providers can bring to end consumers through use case enablement and collaboration between clouds
• The fibre deployments bringing the cloud to end users
• The new data centre campuses emerging across LATAM and the factors making them attractive to investment

Fireside chat: Data center staffing - how can operators manage the ongoing struggle?

日期：2023 年 3 月 23 日 | 上午 9:00 - 上午 10:00 EDT

Speaker: Todd Traver, Vice President, IT Strategy & Optimization, Uptime Institute

According to Uptime Institute's 2022 Management & Operations survey, 54% state that Staffing and Organization is the biggest data center operational need, with more than half reporting that their organization is having difficulties finding and retaining qualified candidates, which is believed to be a leading cause of data center operational errors and incidents.

In this episode, Uptime Institute will provide an update on the global data center staffing situation from the Uptime Intelligence 2022 Global Data Center Survey.

• What have been the key changes?
• What are likely to be the biggest challenges over the next year?
• How can the data center industry mobilize itself to respond?

DCD>Debate: Will cloud eat the enterprise data center?

日期：2023 年 3 月 27 日 | 下午 2:00 – 下午 2:45 EST

Speaker: Todd Traver, Vice President, IT Strategy & Optimization, Uptime Institute

Join us for a discussion on the future of on-premise computing and the enterprise data center's interaction with the cloud.

DCD>Debate: Will the supply chain crisis fundamentally change how we design and build the data center of the future?

日期：2023 年 3 月 27 日 | 下午 4:30 – 下午 5:30 EST

Speaker: Matt Stansberry, Vice President, North America, Uptime Institute

Join us for a discussion on how the crisis is currently impacting the sector, and whether the effects on data center supply are likely to materially change how we design, build (and procure) at scale as we near Q2 2023.
