DICE West 2019 | Bisnow | 21 November 2019 | TBA, San Jose, CA

Don't miss our annual Data Center Investment Conference & Expo (DICE) West in Silicon Valley!

Home to the world's leading tech players and innovators, it's no surprise Northern California is the second-largest data center market in the nation. The region boasts a 7% vacancy rate, indicative of limited availability and market saturation. Supply far exceeds demand in this market, with major existing operators coming online within the next two years.

Topics will Include:
• How will increased power density and cooling capacity impact site selection?
• As end-user demands shift, how will the growing use of outsourced IT services drive demand for a hybrid cloud strategy?
• How will the Internet of Things, Blockchain and AI impact Silicon Valley's data center demand?
• With deployments becoming more dense and compact, what are hyperscalers and cloud providers doing to be more sustainable?
• What do the growth of micro data centers, 5G and Edge Computing innovations mean for today’s data center requirements?
• As land in Silicon Valley becomes more scarce and expensive, what's the outlook for other West Coast markets like Reno & Las Vegas?
• What are operators in the region doing to mitigate risks of earthquakes and other natural disasters?
