Transform your Data Centre to be intelligent & connected

Traditional energy, infrastructure and IT management are separate but interdependent systems. As such, data centres have developed a wide mix of systems and function specific solutions for the management, measurement and control of their environment. With the advent of Data Centre Infrastructure Management (DCIM) there was an expectation that all critical systems could be managed under one system. However, the promise of DCIM seems not to have materialised as expected. 

Within this virtual conference our subject matter experts will explore with you the WHY? and take us, firstly, back to basics to understand what should and should not be managed in a data centre. Then, open up a vision of what a next generation data centre infrastructure system could actually be in terms of raising levels of operational efficiencies, resilience and insights.

Finally, we will address the key topic of remote management. As the recent pandemic has illustrated site access cannot always be assured and with the advent of cloud edge it questions whether the industry is at an inflection point with respect to the remote management of critical infrastructure. 

Panel Discussion: Transform your Data Centre…to be intelligent and connected

Panelists: Eaton & Industry guests

Data centres are energy intensive, complex, mission critical environments. The electrical, mechanical and cooling systems are carefully engineered to support the complex data and IT systems that are of ever increasing importance to our economy and lives; so the task of managing these environment becomes equally complex. 

Data Centre Infrastructure Management systems (DCIM) were the much hyped solution to this challenge. But, the predicted wave of mass adoption never happened, why? Also with advancing technologies in terms of sensors, IoT, data analytics and automation what does the future of operational needs and these solutions look like? Will we see a resurgences of new systems or do we face a data centre management world of ‘business as usual’?

This event panel shall discuss these major points from both an innovation and operational perspective. The aim is to better understand what is truly needed and how system and solution evolution can best meet the ever increasing challenges of the data centre environment. 

Who should watch?

These events will benefit Data centre operators, consultants, electrical and mechanical engineers and facility managers
