Largest Ever Gathering of US Datacenter Professionals Expected at Datacenter Dynamics New York 2007

London, England (PRWEB) February 28, 2007

Building on the success of 2006, DatacenterDynamics returns to New York for a fifth year, on 20 March at the Hilton Hotel, Avenue of the Americas. The Conference is anticipated to be the largest ever gathering of US data center professionals (last year in New York over 480 senior data center professionals attended, this year more than 600 are expected).

As a focal point for end-users, consultants and solution providers, the DatacenterDynamics Conference & Expo has quickly established itself as New York's premier gathering of professionals involved in the design, build and operational management of 24/7 mission critical IT facilities, from the datacenter to the LAN closet. It is an unrivalled education & networking opportunity for the industry, where the regular audience is characterized by senior representatives of the financial sector, trading firms, service enterprises and other Fortune 500 companies operating in the New York Metropolitan area.

The systems, applications, operational requirements and infrastructure technologies coming online today and tomorrow are transforming the facility and information technology infrastructure: from soaring energy costs and demands to reduce carbon emissions, the impact and power of blade servers on facilities, the role of virtualization, grids and utility computing, the inherent rising thermal management problems, requests for more power per rack, and the need for intelligent racks and automation tools requiring new sensors and management tools.

These key issues and many more will be discussed in the presence of assembled leading industry experts and the best-of-breed solution providers -- an environment delivering maximum benefit to delegates.

As part of the most comprehensive schedule yet, we aim to highlight the commonalities between the experiences and concerns of the IT and FM departments and engender debate as part of an on-going commitment to building common languages and solutions for the dynamic data center of the future. Speakers include Jeff Hipschman, senior vice president, CB Richard Ellis, whose session, 'Your next data center location. Does it exist?' explores the current dilemma of data center site supply and acquisition in the New York Metropolitan area, with particular emphasis on New Jersey; Dr Mohammad Tabarra, Arup, who, with the use of case studies will argue that data centre virtual simulation should not only be employed during a critical facility's initial design phase, but rather maintained in parallel throughout its entire life cycle -- that is from its initial design through its future growth, changes and migrations, and Brian Schafer, 7X24 New York Chapter Chairman & Highland Associates Director, who ends the day by leading an industry panel discussion on the modeling challenge for next-gen data centers.

Delegates will also be able to move freely between Solution seminars running concurrently before and after lunch, gaining a valuable insight into the new technologies and services that will be available in 2007.

Delegates attending the event are eligible to register for the award of CIBSE and BICSI Continuing Professional Education credits. Practicing Institute of Engineering (PIE) accreditation is also being sought.
