Mission Critical Magazine and the Critical Facilities Roundtable salute our many readers and members from across the USA for supporting our inaugural “Data Center and Computing Conference” (DC3) last June at the Time Square Marriot Marquis. For two days, our speakers and sponsors entertained nearly 350 data center attendees, many of whom came from the financial services and colocation community of New York City, the greatest community of “mission critical” data centers in the world. Feedback from our attendees consistently praises the quality of our speaker’s content, our sponsor presentations, and our venue location. Take a look at www.mcdatacenterconf.com for all the details.
We all want to thank speakers that traveled from afar to fulfill a conference objective of sharing solutions from the world of Internet and Technology data centers including David Gautier of Microsoft, Henry Wong of Intel, Dave Rothero of HP, and Charlie Manese of Facebook. These gentlemen shared current and future challenges and innovations in the face of accelerating changes in hyper-scale cloud computing environments and advanced data center technologies. Bankers and enterprise operators alike flocked to the presentations to hear about their recent achievements first hand.
