Keynote Address-The Future of Datacenter Operations: A Quality Management Framework with a Maturity Level approach

Market research has repeatedly revealed that human error is the leading cause of disruptive downtime. Despite widespread adoption of ISO standards, it has become evident that they are not sufficient to prevent these costly disruptions. As our world economies become more reliant on data centers, it is crucial that we address this challenge head on. There is a vital need for a robust, practical and comprehensive quality management framework tailored to the unique demands of data center operations. What is this framework and how does it work?
