Optimising Data Centre Performance: Perfection by Design
Data centres host mission-critical applications within a tightly controlled environment. At the DC design stage, focus tends to be placed on ensuring that the applications can be deployed effectively on day one. However, equally important is a design imperative that the physical layer network architecture manages the numerous iterations of active equipment and applications that will be connecting to the network over its lifetime.  This can only be achieved by taking a holistic design approach.

Cost Reduction and Service Optimisation: A Shared Service Centre Discussion
The challenge we face in consolidating, standardising and/or reducing cost in providing IT-services, is that it is a continues effort and not a one-time action. This continues effort in “bundling” the business demands and controlling the IT supply requires an approach which is called “sourcing governance” or a “Shared Service Centre” (SSC). An SSC can result in increased effectiveness, economies of scale, concentration of service management, increased alignment and cost savings.
This session is about governing the demand and supply and how some organisations have adopted this in a SSC.
