Peter JonesBroadGroup research forecasts that strong vertical market demand will drive growth in outsourcing to third party datacentres in Europe, and will equate to almost 30% of users by the beginning of 2016. But this linear perspective will largely disappear as the computing environment changes. IT departments emerge as cloud brokers, hosting applications across a range of datacentres and distributed architectures. Businesses will be offered a flexible menu of options, automated and on demand. For datacentres and users, this dénouement brings a completely new set of challenges and opportunities

Datacentre procurement will shift away from real estate and facilities management to broader IT, central infrastructure and outsourcing; software spend in Cloud will assume much greater importance; application management becomes next area of commoditization.
Data will just be too big by then. It's no longer a question of whether a company should deploy to the cloud, but instead how and when.
The new 2013 forum will address Telco, DigitalMedia and Content, Financial Services, Managed Services and Enterprise vertical market segments and their challenges and opportunities in managing, operating and outsourcing digital infrastructure.
Datacentre Power will become increasinglyimportant as a source of competitive differentiation - perhaps more so than space. For users pressuresto reduce energy costs is pivotal.
New for 2013, CIOs focus on the future of digital infrastructure the changing role that datacentres will play, shifting to cloud, and managing integrated platforms and massive global data.
