IT leaders from three very different industry realms reveal what hyperscale digital transformation means to the future of their enterprises at the DCD>Enterprise conference of over 1,500 technology infrastructure management professionals, March 14-15, Marriott Marquis Time Square, New York.

DCD>Enterprise 2017

In a plenary keynote panel that explores how companies can begin thinking ‘digital first’, investment giant BlackRock’s, head of technology, Kfir Godrich is joined by Nissan’s chief enterprise architect and strategist, Kasey Shah; NetApp SolidFire CTO, Val Bercovici; and University of Southern California lecturer on social and interactive media, Dr. Julie Albright.

“In the era of digital transformation, enterprises across all industry sectors increasingly are adopting cloud hyperscale IT infrastructures to enable, support and amplify their businesses,” says conference chair Bruce Taylor. “In the IoT world, no one is immune, and it’s now how quickly businesses adapt, not whether.”

Greening at Google and Microsoft

Becoming a ‘green (carbon neutral) enterprise’ is both muscular and smart, and not for the faint of heart. Cloud compute providers are leaders. Google will be 100 percent carbon neutral in 2017. Microsoft has been at zero carbon since 2014. Amazon Web Services plans on 50 percent clean energy sourcing in 2017.

The opening plenary keynote for DCD>Enterprise will be Google’s SVP for technical infrastructure, Joe Kava who recently said, “We’re the largest corporate purchaser of renewable energy in the world. It’s good for the economy, good for business and good for our shareholders.” Kava will be joined on the keynote panel by Microsoft’s GM of data center services, Christian Belady; head of Uber Compute technology, Dean Nelson; and data center design legend Peter Gross, Bloom Energy.

Keeping up with technology advance is a team sport

Over 75  of the world’s major corporate enterprise users of digital infrastructure for data center and cloud computing have registered teams numbering  from 4 to over 20 people – cross-disciplinary, multi-levels of business executives, managers and engineering/technical professionals. “Nobody gets to travel up the transformation curve without both buy-in and deep expertise at every level of the full ecosystem and stack,” says DCD founding CEO George Rockett.
