Day 3 Morning Keynote: State of the Data Centre Market: Europe

Thursday 21st October, onsite: 09:30 – 10:30 BST

Moderator: Ali Moinuddin, Managing Director Europe, Uptime Institute

The future of the European data centre market is seemingly a healthy one, with JLL forecasting a 21% increase in new data centre capacity with 438MW to be added to established markets this year. Outside of the region's main FLAP-D (Frankfurt, London, Amsterdam, Paris and Dublin markets), there are burgeoning signs of hyperscale regions rolling out. But in markets such colocation sites, in which the market in Europe is roughly half the size that it is of the US, this region still has more room for improvement and growth. This panel will look at:

- Where is the real potential going to be in next five to seven years outside of the core markets. And where are the hotspots for growth in the emerging markets?
- Is the edge starting to be more important or is it the hyperscalers building more infrastructure to store and to operate taking precedent?
- Demand vs supply with data centres in Europe
- The impact of edge computing, AI and high performance computing as well as the different type of cooling technologies.
- Is this Europe's time?

Panel - ¿Cómo las infraestructuras convergentes ayudan a optimizar la inversión y ahorrar espacio en todas las fases del Data Center?

Día: 20 de octubre
Hora: 14:00 horas de Ciudad de México

Arturo Maqueo Bobadilla, Director of Business Development, Mexico, Central America & Caribbean

A la hora de construir un data center hay que tener en cuenta numerosos elementos fundamentales. Determinar qué tipo de infraestructura se va a crear, elegir dónde se va a emplazar, decidir qué equipo vamos a utilizar - hardware y software -, analizar qué tipo de refrigeración se va a emplear, calcular la potencia necesaria, hacer un análisis de la conectividad, así como establecer qué tipos de sistemas de control y seguridad se van a implementar, entre otros muchos. Todo esto supone una gran inversión, que es preciso optimizar, además de calcular bien cómo poder ahorrar espacio que pueda servirnos en un futuro cuando el Data Center crezca.

En este panel queremos explorar junto a los expertos de la industria las diferentes maneras en las que poder simplificar la convergencia entre los equipos de TI y facilities, gracias a las infraestructuras convergentes, acelerar el ciclo de diseño, simplificar el ciclo de implementación, optimizar las operaciones y mejorar el coste total de la propiedad.

Digital Outage Risks & Impacts in Data Science Driven Enterprises

Ali Moinuddin, Managing Director, Europe

The impact and cost of outages is growing and remains a major industry concern in spite of improving technology and better management of availability. This presentation will discuss the changing causes of outages - from software and IT configuration issues, network and power issues, and human error. We will also cover innovation and investment in cloud-based and distributed resiliency which may have helped reduce the impact of site-level failures, but possibly introduced error-prone complexity as well.

Day 2 Keynote: Datacloud Keynote – Growing Capacity Across Asia While Balancing the Need for Sustainability

1 December 2021: 16:00-16:45 HKT (GMT +8)

Ewan Smith, Director, Business Development, Uptime Institute

This keynote panel discussion looks at the key trends and developments in Asia's data centre and cloud community. This session will look at:

• The impact of the Singapore moratorium across the region and the novel solutions being considered from floating DCs to imported renewable energy.

• How sustainability and commercial success go hand in hand through growing efficiency, and credibility with investors.

• The areas of Asia that have the greatest growth potential and why developers are betting on them.
