Two members of Microsoft's Data Center team within the company's Global Foundation Services organization will be speaking at industry events in New York City this month to join the conversation and share how we manage our cloud-scale operations.
On March 12, Nic Bustamante, Data Center Operations Engineering Manager will appear on a panel at the DatacenterDynamics Converged conference called, "Making the Data Center Talk - Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) Evolution and Implementation." Bustamante joins Chris Cosby (CEO, Compass Datacenters) Tamara Budec (VP of Critical Systems and Engineering from GoldmanSachs), Glen Neville (Director of Engineering, Deutsche Bank,) and Paul Fox (Executive Director of Enterprise Data Centers Operations, Morgan Stanley) to explain DCIM and discuss strategies to drive return on investment in the data center.
The following week on Thursday, March 21, Amaya Souarez, Data Center Services director, will appear on a panel discussing capacity planning at the GigaOm StructureData conference. The panel, called "Seeing everything to get ready for anything: capacity planning at scale" will focus on the challenges and best practices for data center capacity managers to consider when planning future infrastructure needs. Others on the panel include Heather Marquez (Manager of Asset Strategy, Facebook), and Tamara Budec (Goldman Sachs). The panel will be moderated by Dave Ohara from GigaOm Research.
