London gets ready to host Data Centre Summit South

Dec. 14, 2015 - PRLog -- With some of the biggest names in the industry in attendance, the Data Centre Summit South conference and exhibition will take place on 10th February 2016 at London’s prestigious Barbican Centre. This free to attend one-day event will give data centre professionals the opportunity to find out more about the latest technology, hear from some of the industry’s most acclaimed experts and network with their peers.

According to Mordor Intelligence, the global colocation data centre market is predicted to grow from $25.07bn in 2014 to $44.69bn by the end of 2019 and London is recognised as leading the way in developing and operating state-of-the-art facilities. Data Centre Summit South is designed to attract busy individuals who cannot spare the time to attend longer events, don’t want to travel long distances and who wish to learn game changing information from key industry thought leaders.

Delegates will hear from speakers from major financial institutions, industry luminaries such as Professor Ian Bitterlin, architects involved in the design and build of data centre environments, and specialists from leading technology companies. During the breakout sessions they will get a chance to speak directly to leading manufacturers and distributors including Schneider Electric, Riello UPS, Geist, Sudlows, Stulz, Raritan, Draka, Excel Networking Solutions and Olson Electronics, which will showcase new products and hold demonstrations of their cutting edge technology.

Data Centre Summit South also boasts media sponsorship from many leading magazines and associations including Networks Europe, Cloud Computing World, DataCentreHub, Information Age, Mission Critical Power, Network Computing and Computer Business Review.

Hosted by Data Centre Events, Data Centre Summit South follows on from the highly successful Data Centre Summit North, which was held in Manchester. Ian Titchener, managing director at Data Centre Events, commented, ‘We had a tremendous response to Data Centre Summit North from delegates, speakers and exhibitors alike, so we are anticipating an equally positive experience in London, which is the hub of the UK’s data centre industry. I’m confident that those who attend will find it a thoroughly beneficial use of their time and we have carefully constructed the event so that they get as much out of it as possible.’

The full line up of speakers in the two seminar tracks will be announced in early 2016. In the meantime, delegates can register for free by visiting www.datacentresummit.co.uk
