As the volume of data grows exponentially, businesses everywhere are looking to harness it in order to develop better products, empower employees with insight and deliver personalised customer service. But regardless of size and sector, organisations that lack the means to store, process and unlock the value within their data are at risk of falling behind in the race to digital transformation.

Modernised data infrastructure - whether in-house or outsourced – makes use of automation to help to sidestep errors in manual processes and reduce costs, while channelling the data to where it needs to be. However, increased data flows can also slow businesses and existing applications down.

As a result, the way businesses store their data is crucial in order to be able to leverage Big Data and machine learning technologies. Modernised data centres sit at the heart of this transformation, enabling firms to store more data types from more sources, perform high level data analysis and improve compliance.

This event will bring together relevant industry peers to discuss key pain points, best practice and available solutions when it comes to data centre modernisation.

Topics for discussion:
• How are businesses dealing with the shift from legacy systems to modern data centres?
• What impact do data storage decisions have on workflows and business output?
• How is the evolution of machine learning enabling companies to leverage their data?
• What are the key challenges for companies in setting up modernised data infrastructure?
• How can data centres and cloud-based storage help with data privacy and regulatory compliance?
• What is the key to successful data transfer while mitigating security risks and human error?
