2012 Trends: Share Your Predictions

Now is the time of year for prognostication, or predicting future events. The data center industry has had a quite busy year and we’re sure that Data Center Knowledge readers are wondering what lies ahead.

This year at Data Center Knowledge we thought we’d switch things up a bit and open up the floor to you, the readers. So we’re asking you to tell us what you predict, based on your own experience and insights.

Here’s how it works:

You need to put your wizard cap on and think of what trends will be the most important in the upcoming year. Then put together a couple of paragraphs on the trend and how it will play out in 2012.

Email us a document with about 200-300 words on one of the following topics:

• Data center design
• Energy efficiency
• Cloud computing
• Data center operations

Be sure to include your name, title, and a link to your corporate site or personal blog. Please send to perspectives@datacenterknowledge.com with “2012 Trends” as the subject.

We will publish the best submissions during the week of Dec. 27-30. No guarantees, but we will feature as many predictions as we can.

Deadline: Close of business on the East Coast on December 20.
