The Datacenter Transformation Summit is the premier forum for IT decision makers to come together with executives from the retail and wholesale colocation market to hear from industry leading analysts and executives about the third party market.  Attendees come to build relationships designed to gather information and facilitate strategic alliances/relationships.  Analyst presentations and panels are long on actionable advice and short on unsupportable predictions – major areas of focus will include key criteria for enterprise datacenter vendor selection; power density and cost metrics; the datacenter buy vs build decision; green datacenters; the real impact of virtualization on datacenters (it's not what you think!) and much more.

Tier1 Research is a firm that is wholly focused on covering the trends and forecasts of managed hosting companies and the retail and wholesale colocation datacenters. Tier1 Research provides insight and analysis through our syndicated research offerings to over 185 third party data center firms globally. Tier1 Research recognizes the complexity of selecting a provider and for that reason we have over 25 colocation providers attending and many of the industry leaders sponsoring. IT executives and enterprise data center professionals seeking to learn learn, network and map out strategies for intelligent infrastructure outsourcing will find this to be one of the most valued events of the year.
