Over the coming years of this 4th industrial revolution, IT Infrastructure will have its biggest transformations – spanning across multiple clouds, enterprise networks, data centres, and out to the intelligent edge.

2019 Theme: Architecting Resilient Digital Infrastructure

The tech-enabled organisation needs speed, flexibility, resilience and operational transformation.

We must support this change as the new “digital business” unleashes a perfect storm:

A secure mesh of interconnected services, content, people and smart things are always on.
CX & App performance demands a dynamic fault-free digital infrastructure network.
The shift to hybrid IT strategies uses more cloud and data centre resources.
Cloud is now mainstream IT, bringing migration and governance challenges.
IT workloads consume more dedicated storage, compute and network connectivity.
Legacy must be retired or modernised to support agile, analytics, AI and emerging tech.
IT must evolve to gateway as-a-Service brokering as the new enablers, not owners of IT.
Multi-cloud, multi-tier, and software-defined are the approaches for IT architecture.

For our Technology Leaders:

Most organisations may be migrating to cloud, but still need to maintain their own compute, network, storage footprint, whilst create an over-arching cloud strategy for best practice IT operational models. These 2 days with us will equip and empower you to lead through this change.

Inside the Edge

Having attended the Cloud & DC Edge conference over the last 3 years and cannot stress the exceptional quality around content and people I meet during the event. Since I became part of the Cloud & DC Edge guest list, I have taken the initiative to start a DevOps deployment framework within Deloitte that has saved hundreds of hours every year around infrastructure and cloud automation. I would also like to give a big thanks to the ADAPT team for putting me in touch with the right people to progress my career within the firm. Murali Govalupillay - Senior Manager, Infrastructure at Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu

Great conference, excellent networking opportunities. Well balanced perspectives from thought leaders, end users and vendors. The one DC/Cloud conference that matters for Aust/NZ each year. Greg Byrne - Senior Consultant, IT Service Management, Data Centre Operations at Amazon Web Services

Excellent Event, well structured with forward looking presentations from industry leaders. A great opportunity to interact with those shaping the direction of the industry. John Duffin - Data Centre Industry Thought-Leader (Singapore)
