Eaton, a global power management company, will be highlighting the future of data centre design and infrastructure at the upcoming IDC CIO Summit 2015 in Dubai, UAE.

Taking place on February 25 and 26 at Atlantis, The Palm, the discussion will focus on ways in which the design and agility of data centre infrastructure can protect critical infrastructure and become responsive to requirements to encourage fewer points of failure and increase reliability end-to-end.

Cyrille Brisson, vice president, marketing – electrical sector Europe, Middle East and Africa region, will be partaking in a roundtable on the topic. He will focus on ways of enabling resilient and efficient IT services and how infrastructure is evolving to support modern IT requirements.

"Modern IT is rapidly evolving, in ways that enable modern infrastructure to provide increased deployment speed, applications, resilience and efficiency at the same time. This is provided that infrastructure vendors understand how to adapt to IT requirements,” said Brisson.

“Such understanding requires deep integration with the hypervisor and with the various converged infrastructure ecosystems, and distributed architectures.

“It is such platforms such as the IDC CIO Summit that provide the opportunity for these dialogues to take place. Challenges and opportunities can be identified for future evolvement as well as the importance infrastructure development plays in the safety and resilience of data centres for the future,” he added.

IDC data indicates that UAE businesses are expected to spend $4.63 billion on IT this year, an increase of 8.3 per cent compared to 2013. This spending surge is expected to continue to 2017. As the IT market grows, so does demand for energy to power the industry. Eaton’s solutions offer efficient and sustainable ways of managing data centres to their fullest capacity without compromising on energy. – TradeArabia News Service
