Building Blocks
CNME
|October 2017
Now in its fifth year, the Data Centre Build conference returned to Dubai's Habtoor Grand Resort last month, to shed light on the latest trends and best practices impacting modern data centres.

In an increasingly virtualised and digitalised world, enterprise IT environments need to be agile, scalable and future-proof if they are to succeed. To address these needs, businesses are expected to transform their data centres to ones that enable infrastructure convergence, optimisation and automation, while also saving energy and costs.
James Dartnell, editor of CNME, kicked off the day’s proceedings by pinpointing what keeps CIOs awake at night when it comes to deliberating their data centre transformations.
“The CIOs of 2017 face a daunting task in terms of data centre management and decision making, and it remains one of their greatest sources of sleepless nights,” he said. “The data centre of today has to be reliable, secure and cost-efficient, but, as we all know, fulfilling those mandates is easier said than done.”
