Data Center Summit in Singapore

admin Leave a comment

Summit to be held at Suntec Convention Center, Singapore on 14th of September, 2010.

In a bid to improve efficiency and considerably reduce costs, CIOs are now looking into virtualising their data centres as a viable option. However, only 28% so far have incorporated virtualisation into their IT structure as security seems to be of their primary concern.

Based on the successful run of the Data Centre series for the last 5 years, this year Data Centre Summit 2010 will look at addressing key concerns CIOs and IT professionals are facing and equipping them with the knowledge to get the necessary buy-in from their top management in investing into a virtualised dynamic data centre.

One of our multiple links to the internet went down at 11:40 am today. While our surviving links are capable of handling the traffic, it may not take the most optimal route and so some slowdown in access may result.

As of this time, PLDT MGO equipment failure in Makati has been identified as the cause. No restoration time has been given. We will post more info on our website as we get more details.

As of 4:50pm the link went back up. BNS is currently monitoring the line. Thanks to all our clients for the feedbacks.
