San Francisco Bay Area

Opening Up the Infrastructure Stack was the theme at DatacenterDynamics Converged San Francisco Bay Area 2014, and this key event played host to a stellar roster of speakers who led multiple in-depth discussions on the benefits of applying an open architecture concept to the data center stack.

Hundreds of data center professionals listened in as industry experts, peers and end users shared valuable insights in dealing with the challenges of integrating open architecture into their data centers, and adopting a hybrid cloud infrastructure.

And because more and more companies are embracing the open architecture concept, several sessions were added that gave attendees a closer look at the leading sectors driving the increased demand for cloud architecture — Finance, Healthcare, and Government.

Also new to this year’s conference were The Solution Stage, a special venue where industry vendors made exclusive presentations, and DCProfessional Training Taster Sessions, which were facilitated by expert DCProfessional Development trainers.

There was also some fun at the event!

Several sponsors offered drawings and giveaways, with prizes that included a Razor Scooter and end zone corner seats to the first San Francisco 49ers regular season home game at the new Levi’s Stadium!

We’d like to thank our many wonderful speakers and sponsors for contributing to the event. You made it a terrific success!
