In this fast evolving business environment where the right IT infrastructure means a world of difference between success and failure, organisations are increasingly dealing with complex issues such as cloud repatriation, data sovereignty, financial operations in cloud environments, speed of innovation, and the imperative for sustainable practices.
At this Summit attendees will gain valuable insights into balancing the agility of cloud solutions with the necessity for data localisation and compliance, ensuring that strategic decisions align with both operational efficiency and regulatory requirements. Experts will also delve into the adoption of Financial Operations (FinOps) methodologies where delegates will learn strategies to optimise cloud expenditures, enhance financial accountability, and maximise return on investment.
Looking ahead to developments in cloud and data centre technologies, the summit will explore the integration of artificial intelligence in cloud computing, the expansion of edge computing, the adoption of serverless computing and the rise of quantum computing and its potential impact on data centres. These will be examined together with strategies for implementing green data centre initiatives to promote sustainability in IT operations.
