Spotlight: The Gathering Storm, Climate Change and Data Center Resiliency -
Extreme weather events have become significantly more common and more severe in recent years — a pattern likely to continue for many decades to come. In this presentation/discussion, Andy Lawrence, Executive Director of Research for the Uptime Institute, discusses the implications for data center owners and operators.
Member Presentation: After the Flood -
Scott R Brady, Global Critical Facilities Portfolio Leader for Wells Fargo. This presentation is to discuss the aftermath of what we spend our whole careers avoiding: Data Center Down. From DRPs to tabletop exercises the consultants give us an outline of what to do when the lights go out. There is a lot more to talk about when you are ready to turn them back on.
2020 Abnormal Incident Report Trending Presentation -
Juan Orozco, Uptime Institute Consultant, will review trends from incidents added over the last year to help attendees identify opportunities to apply resources to best minimize downtime risks.
Time to Pause: 2020 Reflections, 2021 Look Ahead, Panel Discussion -
We end our briefing with a chance for everyone to give their perspective on what 2020 has brought to the industry, and what they think 2021 will bring. Our panelists will give their thoughts on various topics and we will then welcome feedback and questions from all attendees.
