Spotlight on cloud and data centres Spotlight on cloud and data centres

Enterprise IT is undergoing fundamental transformation and there’s no sign of the rate of change slowing.

Whether you’re going all-in cloud, refreshing a data centre or taking your first step to hybrid, IT change is having a profound effect on every organisation.

How do you keep up with those changes? What are the new best practices in cloud and data centre deployments? How are IT leaders transforming their IT infrastructure?

In this Spotlight on cloud and data centres, we will be reporting on the big IT infrastructure changes, the latest challenges and most innovative solutions – including coverage from the Cloud & DC Edge 2017 summit on the Gold Coast on 14–16 March, which is co-organised by iTnews.
