The 2nd Datacenter Africa content-driven conference and industry exhibition which will take place in Johannesburg 26-27 June 2013 (www.datacentreafrica.com) will highlight the importance of design, delivery and modular.
 
Carrie Higbie, Global Director of Data Center Solutions and Services, The Siemon Company will keynote on day 2 of the event, providing current industry insight from her wealth of experience in the sector. Carrie’s data center design assistance has been utilized in the Financial, Government, Healthcare, Education and Industrial/Manufacturing sectors with assistance towards compliance related tasks. She has participated in the design of numerous datacenters in all tier levels for both end user and hosted facilities.
 
Design and delivery will also feature in a workshop provided by global consulting firm ARUP. Led by Steven Campbell-Ferguson, the team will offer insight into the use of advanced energy systems and IT strategies to reduce cooling requirements, and the radical changes that datacenter design can bring.
 
Other highlights of the day will include an industry expert panel discussing modular design and how that enables the expansion of power and cooling operations with minimum disruption and whether enterprises should re-assess modular where they currently operate paired datacenters in expensive metro locations.
 
The event includes multiple panel discussions covering current themes in the industry including finance and investment, cloud, power, cooling technologies and efficiency, connectivity and a range of themes relating to the management of the datacenter in Africa today.
 
As a unique networking opportunity the event attracts datacenter operators and service providers, cloud service providers, end user datacenter executives, government representatives, investors and financiers, and regulatory agencies. An accredited training workshop will be provided by C-Net training, and attendees will be invited to a datacenter tour.
