Nov 14, 2006 : Gartner Holds 25th Data Center Event
📅 - IT analyst firm Gartner (gartner.com) announced on Monday it will hold its 25th annual Data Center Conference from November 28 to December 1 at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Gartner says this event has shifted from a conference that focused, in the early years, on predicting what IBM was going to do, to a gathering that focuses on analysis of the implications of what dozens of vendors are doing, what thousands of customers needs will be and putting the pieces together to determine how the market will evolve. The analysis firm adds that the conference has grown from approximately 250 attendees in 1982 to nearly 2,000 expected at this year's event.
This year's conference will include five tracks addressing the critical issues facing today's data center industry including servers, IT operations, storage, business continuity management and disaster recovery and best practices. Keynote speakers include Yossi Sheffi, MIT professor and author of the award-winning novel "The Resilient Enterprise," and Rick Reilly, Sports Illustrated columnist and best-selling author.
"The conference has continued to increase its profile as the nature of the IT business has expanded from solely back-office processes to include customer-facing business processes," says Mike Chuba, research vice president at Gartner and conference co-chair. "The roles of the data center and IT operations have become even more critical to every organization whose business touches clients via some form of information technology."
