Taking Charge, Leading
Change: Your I&O
Transformation Can’t Wait
The infrastructure and operations (I&O) organization is on the
brink of a revolution fueled by the forces of
mobile, social, cloud
and information
technologies.
I&O leaders
stand at the center
of it all, challenged to ensure a stable enterprise infrastructure
while supporting the agility required to act on new business
opportunities
.
For many, the move toward an “Intelligent Data Center,” capable
of synthesizing an explosion of digital information, will enter the
strategic mix, positioning I&O as a key contributor to
business
value
and competitive advantage. Decision-makers will learn
effective new ways to capitalize the forces of IT change, and
proactively lead the way to fundamental I&O
transformation
.
The Data Center Summit 2013 will equip I&O leaders to navigate
the tightrope between data center
modernization
and
cost
optimization
, enabling you to design a data center architecture
that will sustain the uncertainties that lie ahead.

GARTNER PREDICTS:
By YE2016,
60%
of new data
centers will be
40%
smaller, while
supporting
300%
more workload.
Who is attending?
Senior IT Leaders will be

• Balance emerging standards for interoperability with vendor desires
for account infl uence and control
TRACKS
A
Economics of the Future Data Center
Aging data center infrastructures and
energy cost increases
— coupled with a growing need
to be responsive to business demands — are forcing many organizations to rethink traditional
approaches to supporting the business. This track will focus on
data center governance
and
cost optimization
. It will look to address issues such as: how to
negotiate
with vendors;
the sustainable data center; whether cloud is the route to long-term data center savings;
maximizing the ROI from new investments; new cloud hosting models; fi nding the lowest
hanging fruit; migration and
consolidation strategies
.
B
Cloud-Enabled Data Center Landscape
Cloud, mobile, social and information are already having an
impact on I&O
and there are a
number of hot-button issues that are on everyone’s minds. This track will focus on how the
major vendor strategies that are driving — and being driven by — the nexus of forces (
mobility,
information, social and cloud
). It will look to address issues such as: is there a future for
traditional IT megavendors?; the risks of vendor partnerships; is there a role for physical
infrastructure in a
virtual world
?; cloud-based data center services; who will be the data
center giants of tomorrow; whether existing business models can survive, and when and where
to embrace emerging standards.
C
Business Impact of Mobility
I&O organizations can no longer postpone the creation of a
mobile enterprise strategy
that
addresses data leakage,
BYOD
, multiple device ownership, fi le sharing and synchronization,
safe data disposal, corporate app stores, app management and other mobility issues. With
an effective strategy, I&O leaders can avoid making disjointed, tactical decisions that cause
unnecessary and expensive complexity. Such a strategy can ensure that the end result
satisfi es user experience demands. This track will focus on how to deal with the effects of
consumerization
; addressing issues such as: is the PC still relevant?; the role of the personal
cloud; should you adopt a BYOD policy and mobile security solutions at the network edge.
D
Maintaining the Data Center Mission
The rise in demand for
storage
is unabated, as growth rates remain high — with the majority
of the growth being “unstructured.” As such, management and effective
cost optimization
become both paramount in importance and exceedingly diffi cult. New technologies
and architectures are emerging, and some may enable profound change to the storage
infrastructure in the coming years. This track will focus on the
infi nite data center
; back-up
and recovery in a cloud enabled world; matching the right level of resilience to the needs of the
workload and the real meaning of
big data
.
E
Driving the technology Revolution
The
server market
is mature, but with continued technology innovation, there is a lot of
dynamism under the surface, as well as ongoing shifts in competitive dynamics. The server’s
incarnation as a fi xed and fi nite object at a particular place in the universe will no longer be
a suffi cient paradigm to manage the fast-changing IT environment. On one hand, vendors
are promoting integrated systems, yet at the other end of the market, we see developments
such as
low-energy
servers. This track will focus on
innovation
in server, storage and
network technologies; aggregation and dis-aggregation of infrastructure and the impact of new
workloads on technology selection.

KEYNOTE SPEAKERS and END-USER CASE STUDIES
Gartner Opening Keynote:
The Intelligent Data Center
— What Will Unfold Over the Next Five Years
The Data Center’s role within the enterprise is evolving rapidly.
The future Data Center will be critical for enterprise agility and
the benchmark of IT effi ciency. I&O leaders will need to take
advantage of new opportunities in mobile, massive data, cloud
services and innovative technologies, designs and operational
models. This presentation will look at the data center of the future,
and outline the steps to get there.
David Cappuccio and Rakesh Kumar
Gartner Closing Keynote:
Automation:
Foundation of the “Nexus Of Forces”
Where there is software, there is automation. However, confusion
around automation continues. How do I&O leaders harness
the potential of automation? This presentation defi nes and
discusses various forms of automation and the opportunities to
gain effi ciencies, particularly in data centers where the “Nexus of
forces” is brought to bear.
Andrew Butler, Nathan Hill and Milind Govekar
Guest Keynote:
Demonstrating Value to the Business
This keynote presentation will unlock the secrets of
master communicators like Steve Jobs and Steve
Ballmer and show you how to use those insights in
your own organization.
