STRUCTURE - FROM CLOUD TO CLEAR STRATEGY

There are many cloud computing conferences out there, but only one Structure. As the technology industry’s most influential cloud computing and computing infrastructure conference, we are proud to present to you our world class speaker lineup and future forecasting agenda for the sixth consecutive year. Register today and join the most influential technology summit in computing infrastructure. Find out more here.

• Infrastructure At The Edge: Will “Data Center” be the new Oxymoron?: The growing demands for performance and the sheer limits of physics is forcing the datacenter to break up and go to the edge. We assemble some of the leading edge practitioners and architects to examine what role technology service providers have to play in this growing market.
• Grand Challenges: Building Tomorrow’s Infrastructure: The Facebooks and Googles of the world are creating infrastructures that store and index a lifetime of memories for billions of people. That “moon mission” style technology race will spill over and shape the more humble needs of the enterprise next. We’ll dig deep into these interesting, important and extreme cases.
• Creating The Business Ecosystem For Software Defined Data Denter: In a world where your next data center is software defined, the real enabler is not hardware, logic or software – it’s business contracts and trust relationships that define how well (or not) your software defined data center will perform. We look at what will be needed for the “contacts and contracts” ecosystem to flourish and what considerations you need to make to plan correctly your contract purchases.
• Future Hardware Architectures – Highly Distributed and Message Passing: Processor speeds and hard drive capacities have raced ahead but the bit in between – the bus – is failing badly. As demand grows for faster, cheaper and higher performing architectures for the cloud, we look at what is being done to address the bottlenecks – from the pragmatic and immediate to the complete reinvention of compute architectures for a more distributed reality.
