Following the hot summer, IXEurope, one of Europe’s
largest independent datacentre operators, is to take active
involvement in a conference dedicated to explore such
issues.
IXeurope has 14 datacentres in the UK, Germany, France and
Switzerland and says that the inaugural Power and Cooling for Data
Centres Summit 2006 will bring together datacentre players and
leading experts to address these issues and share valuable
intelligence and knowledge to support strategic power and cooling
decisions.
Guy Willner, CEO of IXEurope, comments, “Of all challenges
currently confronting datacentres, as they continue to achieve
continued growth, those of power and cooling characterise the most
concerning and perhaps the most difficult to resolve in the short
term. As servers become more complex and power-hungry, some
enterprise datacentres simply cannot provide sufficient power or
cooling.”
“We look forward to sharing the ways in which the managed
datacentre industry is helping its customers to improve power
efficiency for the latest technologies, particularly in extreme
conditions.”
Researched and produced by BroadGroup, the event is taking place
on 25-26 October at the London Paddington Hilton Hotel.
