Surge in datacentre relocations in Asia sees re-launch of BuilTech: Datacentres Conference 2010

Facility Media, Asia’s leading media company focusing on the industries of the built environment, has re-launched its regional datacentre event, BuilTech Datacentre Conference 2010, in response to the swell in datacentre activity in Hong Kong and around the region. Banks, IT firms and large international organisations are moving into a renewed expansion mode in Asia and Hong Kong with relocations and projects being tabled daily.

The conference will answer the questions these companies are asking about whether technology in the areas of cooling, power and data centre management are going to keep pace with their new demands. Beyond IT or engineering solutions, project and data centre owners are increasingly looking to business strategies that will drive the success of their facility, and making the right choices from now that will work for the future.

Speakers at the BuilTech: Data Centre conference are experts in how the new generation of datacentres will be built. The networking portions of the one day programme will give ample opportunity to meet the people who are on the cutting edge of the new projects. Learn about the dollars and sense of modern mission critical facilities.
