Datacloud 2016 focuses on the critical ecosystem for business users

The enterprise driven programme for the international forum and exhibition, now in its 12^th year with 60 countries represented, will extensively draw on business users from financial services, transport, auto, media and gaming, pharmaceutical, retail, oil and gas, telco and other key verticals and how they are responding to the challenges of energy, security, connectivity, interoperability, and using Cloud-enabled, continuous delivery and DevOps lifecycles for faster rollout of new features and applications and sustaining business innovation.

 

“The content focus is extremely timely with most enterprises shifting at least half of their infrastructure to Cloud-based platforms over the next 24 months,” commented Philip Low of BroadGroup, the event researchers and producers.

 

“The need to connect outside of the data center to business Cloud users is not only critical, but also more complex as already evidenced in the selection of location for new facilities.”

 

Kathy Schneider, SVP Product and Marketing EMEA, Level 3 Communications said: “Leveraging the cloud successfully should be underpinned by a solid network strategy. Level 3 is a trusted connection to the networked world, including the cloud, providing network services that enable organisations to achieve their growth, efficiency and security goals. As the Platinum Cloud Sponsor of Datacloud Europe, we are focused on helping organisations to maximise cloud connectivity opportunities, regardless of their cloud provider or architecture.”

 

Datacloud Europe 2016 in Monaco will for three days be home to many of the most influential thought leaders, business minds and decision makers in the data center and cloud industry and once again reflects the core properties of high level content, leadership networking, and a place where business deals are done. 

 

The programme includes the Datacloud Awards ceremony and dinner on the evening of 7 June, followed by two days of conference and exhibition. New for 2016, the event co-locates the first ever summit, Invest in Data Center Africa, for Investors, financiers, data center operators, subsea and fibre developers and pioneers responding to the challenges of creating the African data center network.
