9:10am - 10:00am | Today’s Data Center: A Case Study in Disruptive Innovation J. Bruce Daley, VP & Principal Analyst, Constellation Research For almost 50 years, the model for how companies built and operated data centers remained largely unchanged, save incremental improvements. But in just the past few years, it has experienced a level of technological innovation that can only be called disruptive. From chip design to network design and many other advances, innovation is changing the capabilities of almost every component. This is critical in today’s world where data centers consume 2% of the world’s energy but servers are, on average, only utilized 5% of the time (or about 1 hour and 15 minutes a day). Join Constellation Principal Analyst J. Bruce Daley as he draws on decades of experience and original research to discuss the difference between disruptive innovation and incremental improvement and how you can adapt to the disruptive change before it’s too late. | |
