What is the outlook for the growth of data centres and cloud in Bangalore and Karnataka over the next few years? What will drive this growth?

Bangalore is now one of the key data center hubs in India and its growth is projected to continue based on both the profile of the local economy and society, and on international demand. How will local resources and governance cope? And how will data center design and planning help manage projected growth?

Slowly but surely, power into data centers is moving away from reliance on fossil fuels delivered via a central grid. Generation is becoming more localized and renewable sources of energy are now preferred. How far are Indian data centers moving along this path and what is driving them in this direction?

What are some of the key cooling and heat removal technologies that we can expect to see come onto the market in India? Which will contribute most to the challenges faced by data centres here? How will they do so?

The evolution of cyber-crime represents a continually evolving threat against datacenter and cloud services.  How can strategies be formulated and executed to achieve better cyber protection? Where will responsibilities for protection lie?

Enterprise companies are the foundation of the datacenter/cloud ecosystem. Decision making becomes more complex as providers and technologies evolve and as options and information increase. How well is provider evolution meeting enterprise needs or is it in fact shaping those needs?

Not only are the number of data centres in Bangalore increasing but so are the power densities of existing data centres as they need to provide capacity for increasing demand. How is it possible to increase capacity and density without compromising existing operations? What on-prem and outsourcing options should be looked at?

As larger numbers of businesses and consumers across the State embark on digitalisation, what role will Edge play in a future IT delivery strategy? How will Edge evolve across Karnataka to play this role? Who will lead and invest in this roll-out? How will this process impact digital infrastructure elsewhere in India?

Scalability has traditionally been a capability associated with the largest, hyperscale data centers. How can the principle of scale be applied to smaller data centers and to Edge, and why?

What are some of the key technologies that we can expect to see come onto the market in coming years? And which will contribute most to the challenges faced by data centers? How will they do so?

As the number of cloud services and delivery models available to businesses increases, so can the difficulty of making the correct choices between them. Concerns remain still about deploying cloud in terms of cost, service levels, control and visibility. What are the key questions to be asked when procuring cloud and how do you make best use of the answers?

Modular has long been a principle of design and construction since it has enabled greater speed and convenience in that process. How is ‘modular thinking’ adapting to the barrage of requirements that have emerged over the past couple of years? What lies ahead for modular?

Knowing when to modernize and upgrade is a key to data center lifecycle management. Analysing how and why may also add some insight into your digital infrastructure strategy.

Data growth is projected to be significant,continuing and to take a number of different forms. All of these factors will present
challenges to data center operations. This session will look also at relevant technologies and solutions.

On-prem data centers and cloud services each offer different benefits for enterprise. What are the key questions and considerations when developing a Hybrid IT configuration? What are the proven benefits of doing so, and what are the risks? And how does the process impact the design and operation of the enterprise data center?
