Taking Charge, Leading Change: Your I&O Transformation Can’t WaitThe infrastructure and operations (I&O) organization is on the

brink of a revolution fueled by the forces of mobile, social, cloud

and information technologies. I&O leaders stand at the center

of it all, challenged to ensure a stable enterprise infrastructure

while supporting the agility required to act on new business

opportunities.

For many, the move toward an “Intelligent Data Center,” capable

of synthesizing an explosion of digital information, will enter the

strategic mix, positioning I&O as a key contributor to business

value and competitive advantage. Decision-makers will learn

effective new ways to capitalize the forces of IT change, and

proactively lead the way to fundamental I&O transformation.

The Data Center Summit 2013 will equip I&O leaders to navigate

the tightrope between data center modernization and cost

optimization, enabling you to design a data center architecture

that will sustain the uncertainties that lie ahead.

Andrew ButlerVP Distinguished Analyst, Gartner

Karthik CariappaSenior Program Manager, Gartner Events

GARTNER PREDICTS:

By YE2016,

60% of new data

centers will be

40% smaller, while

supporting 300%

more workload.

TRACKS

A Economics of the Future Data CenterAging data center infrastructures and energy cost increases — coupled with a growing need to be responsive to business demands — are forcing many organizations to rethink traditional approaches to supporting the business. This track will focus on data center governance and cost optimization. It will look to address issues such as: how to negotiate with vendors; the sustainable data center; whether cloud is the route to long-term data center savings; maximizing the ROI from new investments; new cloud hosting models; fi nding the lowest hanging fruit; migration and consolidation strategies.

B Cloud-Enabled Data Center LandscapeCloud, mobile, social and information are already having an impact on I&O and there are a number of hot-button issues that are on everyone’s minds. This track will focus on how the major vendor strategies that are driving — and being driven by — the nexus of forces (mobility, information, social and cloud). It will look to address issues such as: is there a future for traditional IT megavendors?; the risks of vendor partnerships; is there a role for physical infrastructure in a virtual world?; cloud-based data center services; who will be the data center giants of tomorrow; whether existing business models can survive, and when and where to embrace emerging standards.

C Business Impact of MobilityI&O organizations can no longer postpone the creation of a mobile enterprise strategy that addresses data leakage, BYOD, multiple device ownership, fi le sharing and synchronization, safe data disposal, corporate app stores, app management and other mobility issues. With an effective strategy, I&O leaders can avoid making disjointed, tactical decisions that cause unnecessary and expensive complexity. Such a strategy can ensure that the end result satisfi es user experience demands. This track will focus on how to deal with the effects of consumerization; addressing issues such as: is the PC still relevant?; the role of the personal cloud; should you adopt a BYOD policy and mobile security solutions at the network edge.

D Maintaining the Data Center MissionThe rise in demand for storage is unabated, as growth rates remain high — with the majority of the growth being “unstructured.” As such, management and effective cost optimization become both paramount in importance and exceedingly diffi cult. New technologies and architectures are emerging, and some may enable profound change to the storage infrastructure in the coming years. This track will focus on the infi nite data center; back-up and recovery in a cloud enabled world; matching the right level of resilience to the needs of the workload and the real meaning of big data.

E Driving the technology RevolutionThe server market is mature, but with continued technology innovation, there is a lot of dynamism under the surface, as well as ongoing shifts in competitive dynamics. The server’s incarnation as a fi xed and fi nite object at a particular place in the universe will no longer be a suffi cient paradigm to manage the fast-changing IT environment. On one hand, vendors are promoting integrated systems, yet at the other end of the market, we see developments such as low-energy servers. This track will focus on innovation in server, storage and network technologies; aggregation and dis-aggregation of infrastructure and the impact of new workloads on technology selection.

KEYNOTE SPEAKERS and END-USER CASE STUDIES

Gartner Opening Keynote: The Intelligent Data Center — What Will Unfold Over the Next Five YearsThe Data Center’s role within the enterprise is evolving rapidly. The future Data Center will be critical for enterprise agility and the benchmark of IT effi ciency. I&O leaders will need to take advantage of new opportunities in mobile, massive data, cloud services and innovative technologies, designs and operational models. This presentation will look at the data center of the future, and outline the steps to get there.

David Cappuccio and Rakesh Kumar

Gartner Closing Keynote: Automation: Foundation of the “Nexus Of Forces”Where there is software, there is automation. However, confusion around automation continues. How do I&O leaders harness the potential of automation? This presentation defi nes and discusses various forms of automation and the opportunities to gain effi ciencies, particularly in data centers where the “Nexus of forces” is brought to bear.

Andrew Butler, Nathan Hill and Milind Govekar

Guest Keynote: Demonstrating Value to the Business

This keynote presentation will unlock the secrets of master communicators like Steve Jobs and Steve Ballmer and show you how to use those insights in your own organization.

WHY GARTNER EVENTS

What’s New in 2013?The Nexus of Forces: Mobile, cloud, information and social brings new challenges and new opportunities within I&O. Data Center leaders will receive a framework to prioritize and manage their portfolio of services and investments to deliver value while extending their vision to include the Nexus.

Mobility: BYOD is challenging traditional mobility policies. We have a completely new track that will explore the best practices of deploying BYOD, evaluate the risk associated and assess the various mobility alternatives (including hosted virtual desktops) for I&O executives coupled with mobile device management.

IT Leadership: Demonstrating the value of IT is critical and IT decision making is becoming complex. I&O leaders will learn effective ways of communicating the importance of IT — and the value it delivers — to business leaders and stake holders in their organizations.

Vendor Selection/Management: Data Center leaders continue to focus on maximizing the ROI on various IT investments, with a focus on astute negotiations, minimizing the associated risks and leveraging vendor relationships. The summit will address issues regarding: What vendors do you consider or choose for what reason? How should IT evaluate vendors’ promises? Which vendors will play leading roles in I&O? etc.

Gartner is the world’s leading information technology research and advisory company. Our pivotal advantage: 890 analysts delivering independent thinking and actionable guidance to clients in 12,400 organizations worldwide. The majority from the Fortune 1000 and Global 500.

This extensive body of knowledge, insight and expertise informs all of our 60+ events around the world. You simply won’t fi nd this unique quality of content at any other IT conference. Why? Because no one understands the impact of technology on global business like we do.
