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.
The theme for this year...
Hear our CEO Jim Berry announce the 2019 theme for Connected Cloud & DC Edge

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.

Having attended the Cloud & DC Edge conference over the last 3 years. I 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. Senior Manager, Infrastructure at Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu
