From time to time I run across news, products, or events that are worth sharing with our blog readers Today is going to be one of those days that toot someone else\u2019s horn. AFCOMs Data Center World Conference and Tradeshow is definitely something worth sharing and if you haven\u2019t heard about it yet, I\u2019ll fill you in below. <\/span><\/p>\n

In only a few short days hundreds of data center facilities and data center professionals will be flocking to Las Vegas, Nevada to attend one of the largest industry events in the country. Data Center World, sponsored by AFCOM, will be taking up residency in the Mirage Hotel starting on March 18th for a four day data center bonanza. <\/span><\/p>\n

Known as one of the most informative and reputable conference & trade shows to attend, DCW is definitely going to cause a buzz in the industry. No doubt, if you, like I, don\u2019t have the privilege of attending, you will be eagerly waiting to hear word of just what was being said and which were the latest and greatest products showcased at the tradeshow. <\/span><\/p>\n

The conference is designed to meet the needs of seasoned data center and facilities management professionals and assist them in gaining crucial insight into how formal processes and industry vybaven\u00ed datov\u00e9ho centra<\/a> can align IT goals with business goals to improve operations.<\/span><\/p>\n
