10:40am Aligning Business Goals through Intelligent Network

Businesses today all rely on robust network infrastructure to run a web of business applications. The capability to manage networks intelligently can give enterprises competitive advantage. Network reliability, flexibility and efficiency have become major concerns for CXOs.

This session discuss best practice principles for designing, planning, building, maintaining and managing your enterprise's network infrastructure.

Dr Ispran Kandasamy, Vice President Sales, Enterprise Asia Pacific, CommScope Enterprise Solutions Division

11:10am "Data Centres Mean Business"

Data Centres are the heart of any business and as we automate more and more business systems, IT is pressured to ensure business is enabled. All too often though, businesses can feel constrained by the capabilities of their information technology (IT) and supporting infrastructure. Is there enough rack space to handle more servers? Can power capacity accommodate larger IT loads?

This presentation explores key areas of focus for the future data centre and will stimulate thinking on how to enable high performance, quick deployment and easy to operate through change, be scalable and adaptable to support business growth, and how to leverage innovative solutions. In such a competitive world any outage in the data centre creates service disruptions, lost revenue and market reputation.

Mr. David Blumanis, Vice President, Regional Data Centre Solutions, Asia Pacific and Japan, APC by Schneider Electric.
