How to create a successful data centre exit strategy

     

    Join a small dynamic group of industry leaders and experts from multiple organisations in the UK as we explore the different strategies required when considering a Data centre exit in 2021. With our changing economic and social climate, businesses are looking to leverage the cloud to address common challenges, including:

    • Escaping legacy architecture
    • Overcoming technical debt
    • Unlocking opportunities to innovate

    Host Simon Bennett will begin by exploring these challenges to help you understand the best path forward for your business.

    Speakers:

    • Simon Bennett, Chief Technical Officer for EMEA, Rackspace Technology
    • Paul Traynor, Director of Professional Services for EMEA, Rackspace Technology
    • Wendy Marshall, Senior Technical Consultant for UK, Rackspace Technology

    There will be time for Q&A which will be followed by breakout sessions guided by our cloud experts. These in-depth peer-to-peer discussions will give tangible guidance on how to create a winning data centre exit strategy focusing on these core opportunities:

    • Business continuity planning
    • Disaster recovery
    • New ways-of-working
    • Optimising costs

    Throughout we’ll also share perspectives and unbiased opinions based on our customers’ experiences. For example, our customer Wyndham Hotels & Resorts exited a corporate data centre and overcame 30 years of technical debt to generate savings of 45%.
