Unlike other facilities, a data center cannot be judged on its percentage availability. It is either available or it isn't. Whether fully owned or outsourced, data centers and IT rooms are critical facilities for the vast majority of businesses. But from managing complexity to improving energy efficiency and meeting security and business regulatory requirements, data centers face many challenges.

Integrated and tailored solutions and services for data center infrastructure help efficiently detect and respond to a wide variety of events that can threaten data centers' business continuity and profitability.

During this seminar we present you with an overview of the latest trends, challenges and technologies for energy efficient, safe and secure data center infrastructure.
