Future-Proofing Your Data Centre

The industry's premier Future-Proofing Your Data Centre Conference returns in the new year as part of the CeBIT Global Conference Series - based on the success of this conference in March 2010.

More than 180 delegates attended the March 2010 conference - with excellent feedback about program content, quality of speakers, and a first-hand look at 21st century innovations in data centre management.

Onsite delegate feedback rated this conference highly: more than 75% of attendees gave a rating of excellent and good, and over 80% of attendees confirmed they would attend the conference in 2011.

Launch-pad for Australian Government's data centre strategy - 2010-2011

A major March 2010 highlight was The Minister for Finance and Deregulation, The Hon Lindsay Tanner, announcing the Federal Government's data centre strategy.

The Minister's presence attracted considerable media and industry interest, while laying the foundations for the Australian Governments' data centre management initiatives during 2010-2011.

The March 2011 forum will once again showcase the latest tools and techniques for end-users to streamline data centre management programs.

The focus is on public and private sector case studies - from Australia and overseas, as well as highly-interactive panel discussions and practical hands-on workshops.

A dedicated exhibition will complement the conference; this exhibition will feature award-winning technology solutions providers that are helping organisations maximise their return on investment for data centres.
