79 Photos James Henderson (ARN)

As businesses realise the importance of removing the IT shackles, in the quest for increased innovation, future-proofing the data centre has become a leading priority. Driven by a relentless need for more agility, control, simplicity and scale, partners are now tasked with creating full solution sets to meet the new demands of the customer. But in a data centre driven world there is no silver bullet, rather an assortment of solutions that when combined, align with the digital transformation priorities of Australian businesses. This ARN Connect event, in association with Exclusive Networks and BigTec, sidestepped the hype to look at the bigger industry picture, peeling back the infrastructure layers to outline how partners can Transform the Data Centre One Block at a Time.

  • Panel Discussion - Reference Architecture Today, organisations expect applications to be responsive, simple, scalable and aligned with the personal applications found on smartphones and tablets. As a result, Australian businesses expect private cloud data centres to support a scalable, dynamic software environment, capable of delivering applications at speed, in the way users demand. Realising the vision of a hybrid, software-defined data centre (SDDC) creates the foundation for meeting dynamic, web-scale application demands. But with a market filled with options, where do partners start?

  • Panel Discussion - Transforming Your Data Centre One Block at a Time In the pursuit of greater business agility, security, simplicity and scale, such widespread enterprise adoption of virtualisation and cloud technology has led to seismic changes at the heart of enterprise IT. The traditional concept of the data centre has been shattered into a hybrid mix of on-premise hardware, multi-cloud services and virtual network functions. There is no singular solution to fix all - the new look data centre depends on foresighted partners to provide the right solution ‘blocks’ that integrate in existing environments to Transform the Data Centre One Block at a Time.
