This event qualifies for 1.75 CPEs

2017 DATA CENTER BRAINSTORM - Data Center Optimization: The Piggy Bank for Federal IT Modernization

In 2016, the White House pushed IT modernization to the forefront of Federal agencies’ agendas – with an updated Data Center Optimization Initiative (DCOI) and the Federal Information Technology Acquisition Reform Act (FITARA) paving the way. 2017 brings a new Administration. IT modernization is still center stage of Federal IT agendas – and data center optimization is a possible engine for real, measurable savings. What trends are leading the way for data center optimization? Where’s the money to realize this critical element of the modernization drive? Will 2017 finally be the year data center optimization is realized?

Join us on March 23rd for MeriTalk’s Data Center Exchange Brainstorm as we explore modernization progress made and discuss what the future holds.
