Data Centre workshop with Digital Realty, followed by Launch of LINX at Digital Chessington

ISPA is running a workshop for members with an interest in data centres and hosting.

As data becomes more important, the workshop will be looking at 'the Future Data Centre', and the future challenges and opportunities for data centre operators and hosts. How will data get from the rack to the consumer? What are the current and future security and privacy issues? What will the business model be?

The free workshop, hosted at Digital Realty’s data centre in Chessington, will feature a panel and Q&A on connectivity, broadband and operational issues, with a second panel on the legal and liability issues for those hosting content.  A networking lunch and tour of the data centre are included. Please note that you will need photo ID to access the Digital Realty site.

To attend please RSVP to admin@ispa.org.uk
