Week on the West Coast: Datacenter Dynamics San Jose, 2016

Datacenter Dynamics held its “DCD Webscale” event at the San Jose Convention Center this July. Milldam attended to support a few clients, network with industry friends, and meet some new people. We were especially interested to learn more about the Performance Indicator, The Green Grid’s new data center metric discussed at the show. A developer of the metric and writer for the official whitepaper, Future Facilities’ CTO Mark Seymour also spoke at DCD Webscale to present the PI to a wider audience. Panduit welcomed attendees to its Business Lounge throughout the event, displaying the impressive HD Flex 2.0, while RF Code engaged attendees in discussion around its CenterScape Platform.

Please enjoy our perspective of the event. We look forward to catching up at other DCD shows to come!
