Beschreibung

This talk is intended to be an entertaining and thought-provoking look into the future of the data center. Whether running on premise or in the cloud, increases in both scale and complexity negatively affect productivity and return on investment. The availability and affordability of expertise continues to decrease. Technology adoption cycles are shrinking while the numbers of users and service platforms are growing. Roles and responsibilities have remained largely unchanged since the 1970’s, as have reporting and accounting procedures. While the technology has evolved, our collective ability to maximize data center assets has not. In this talk, we will explore how one might sustainably mitigate these factors with software design. In doing so, we will draw lessons from process management, business intelligence, data analytics, machine learning, continuous integration and human behavior and applying them to specific roles. Our ultimate goal being a data center operation that is perfectly incentivized; with technology-enabled personnel driving year over year increases in productivity and return on investment.
