The conference addresses the fast moving technological evolution of data centres as mission critical facilities, this includes: The international research and development landscape delegates will find out how new scientific and engineering innovations will affect the data centre. Energy and resource efficiency of ICT delegates will learn more about the latest technology and methods to combat high energy costs and climate change Training, education and operational professionalism of data centres delegates will learn about what is needed to properly resource and manage the data centres of the future The overall objective of DataCentre Transformation Manchester 2015 is to reflect the ongoing need for the facilities and IT functions to join together to ensure the optimum data centre environment that can best serve the enterprise s business requirements. After all, data centres do not exist in isolation, but are the engines that drive the critical applications on which the enterprise relies.

It s always good natured, but above all else, it is thought provoking and inspiring. Simon Campbell-Whyte, DCA Executive Director Now in its fourth year, we feel that the DataCentre Transformation Manchester series is establishing itself as an important northern event, providing a good mix of content from academic research to industry solutions. Dr Jon Summers, Senior Lecturer, Institute of ThermoFluids (itf), School of Mechanical Engineering, University of Leeds WHAT THE DELEGATES SAY... We spoke about the huge threats and ditto opportunities and all the different ways in which people (want to) see the future to develop. It was very interesting and gave me tons to think about. From old fashioned, conservative thinking to mind blowing disruptive technologies. Frank Verhagen, CEO, Cerios Green B.V. Never before havei visited an IT event that was so much focused on facts, research and development to the benefit of all participants rather than being a marketing platform for certain products and/or services. Dirk-Achim Tellbach (AKA DA),Data Centre Solutions Director, Wusys GmbH Anyone with even the smallest interest in Data Centres should make it a point to attend the next event Richard Stacey CDCD, Future Tech Ltd All of the presentations were educational and thought provoking leading to considerable learning on my part... the Dinner added to the occasion and opportunities for further networking which has led to friendship with several new people and considerable business.
