Datacenter Dynamics has a set a date for its 2007 Mumbai Conference & Expo on 13th April at Grand Hyatt Mumbai.

This will be a gathering of professionals involved in the design, build and operational management of 24/7 mission critical IT infrastructure. In 2006, Datacenter Dynamics visited 13 major cities in Europe, America and Asia, and welcomed 5,194 Datacenter Professionals. In 2007, starting with its first conference in Tokyo, the company expects to welcome over 7,000 people to 19 Datacenter Dynamics locations across the globe.

This year the focus and content of the conference has been expanded beyond Facility to include IT infrastructure and the impact that IT decision making has on the data center as a whole. The topics to be covered include:

Engineering Energy Efficiency – Understanding the challenges and delivering real cost savings by taking control of ‘The Power Gap’ through solutions, technologies and design alternatives. Going ‘Green’ and building for LEED Certification.

• Open and Closed Cooling Architectures: Cool the load and not the room as you plan and implement thermal management solutions from the cabinet to the closet through adaptive air and liquid cooling in supporting higher-density power and cooling loads.
• High Performance Networks and Cabling: Capitalise on intelligent fiber and cable management standards and best practices while improving cost performance, speed, reliability and bandwidth/reach at the physical layer.
• The Solution Oriented Network Architecture: Optimise your IT infrastructure and data center facilities for the application aware enterprise while increasing availability, reliability and service assurance from the DC server to the desktop.
• Consolidation, Virtualisation and Server Resource Maximisation: Learn the value from the Chip to the BladeServer in making Grid and Utility Computing, Virtualisation and Consolidation in turning your DC from a custom-built infrastructure to a plug-and-play environment designed to bring flexibility to IT and agility to the business units.
• Modular Value Engineering and Capacity Planning: Manage the demand design modeling paradox of space, capacity and time of your facility with new concepts and best practices in design, modular build and deployments and CFD to a new level.
• DC Automation: Mastering the 4M’s - Monitoring, Measuring, Modeling and Managing the Mission Critical IT Infrastructure. ‘You can’t manage what you can’t measure.’
• Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery: From the processes and best practices required to working with facility, IT and business managers to determine which parts of a facility, systems, and applications should be restored first after a disaster.
• End-to-End Mission Critical Application and IT Resource Service Management: The need for system and application management software in today’s complex mission critical environment from Service Provisioning Systems to bringing application awareness to the datacenter.
