DCD>Enterprise sees the first U.S. outing for the DatacenterDynamics/Uptime Institute global conference content partnership. Organizations are rethinking their IT strategies to embrace hybrid infrastructures consisting of multiple data center sites, colocation facilities as well as public and private clouds. DCD>Enterprise will address the key to IT success, examining an organization’s IT service delivery charter and mapping it to hybrid infrastructure in a predictable and defendable fashion.

“We are excited to bring our collaboration with DCD to New York, after successful events in Asia and Europe,” said Lee Kirby, president, Uptime Institute. “Today’s IT Infrastructure industry changes confirm an increasing need to reduce risk as enterprises distribute core IT business services across hybrid structures, reducing control and visibility through the process.

“We are eager to lead DCD>Enterprise discussions around IT strategies and insights on resiliency and the risks associated with hybrid infrastructures, and how to empower IT executives and practitioners to take the corrective measures needed for greater success.”

The focus will be on how organizations should be preparing to embrace these approaches, understand the risk and opportunity of operating in hybrid environments, and the associated business reporting that must exist to be successful.
