Backbone of the technology that powers the coming hyper-connected post-pandemic world.

The advent of the internet swept aside all pundits who had predicted that the IT infrastructure stack was all figured out — and the recent pandemic has only accelerated its transformation. Today's digital platforms consume massive amounts of resources, and generate enormous amounts of data; entire industries have arisen that analyse, transport, store and manipulate this data. Cloud hyperscalers have exploded in popularity, and data centres today are undergoing rapid changes to cater to new workload deployments. Finally, business wants Everything-as-a-Service without compromises on performance or usability. 

Join us and 80+ of your peers in the industry as we dive into the heart of the IT infrastructure stack - from storage, compute and networking all the way to new paradigms in data analytics and application deployment. The IT Infrastructure Frontiers 2021 conference, produced in close consultation with IT end-users across APAC, will address some of the latest developments in the industry. The event's mission is get a sense of whether IT infrastructure is ready to be the backbone of the technology that powers the coming hyper-connected post-pandemic world.
