The Uptime Institute Symposium 2010 will be held May 17-19 at the Hilton New York in Manhattan. I was just checking out the schedule for this year’s event, and was impressed with the range of subjects and panelists. There’s going to be a lot of expertise in one place at this event. Here’s a sampling of some panels and presentations:
- Power-Related Advantages of Cloud Computing: Presentation by Jonathan Koomey of Stanford.
- Eco-Efficiency: Driving Change Across Technical and Cultural Divides: Panel with Jim Smith of Digital Realty, Anthony Wanger of i/o Data Centers, Laurelee Martin from Jones Lang LaSalle and Pitt Turner from the Uptime Institute.
- Microsoft’s Data Centers and Beyond: Insights from Christian Belady of Microsoft Research.
- Secrets to Achieving Extremely Efficient Data Centers: Presentation by KC Mares.
- Efficiency vs Availability: An End User’s Perspective: A panel featuring Ken Brill of the Uptime Institute, Lex Coors from Interxion, Dave Rotheroe of HP, Bob Cashner from Wachovia and Tony Ulichnie from Uptime.
- PUE Hype: Setting Realistic Expectations: From Victor Avelar with APC by Schneider.
- Data Center Regulation: What to Know, How to Plan and the Data Center Manager’s Role: A keynote by Mike Manos of Nokia.
- Driving Out Inefficiencies in Cooling: A panel with Joerg Desler of Stulz-ATS, Tom Donovan of Panduit, Jason Schaefer of Tier1 Research, Dr. Bob Sullivan from Uptime, and Anthony Wanger from i/o Data Centers.
Those are just a few of the keynotes, presentations, roundtables, and panel discussions. There will also be an exhibition hall, and the annual Green Enterprise IT Awards. A new wrinkle this year is the opportunity for one-on-one consultations with analysts from The 451 Group and Tier1 Research, and experts from the Uptime Institute. Availability is limited, and based on registration date.

If you’re on a budget, you can register for a free one-day pass for May 18 and May 19 that provides access to the exhibition hall, afternoon keynotes and networking receptions.
