“Content, cloud and IoT solution providers and integrators continue to grow at an unprecedented rate. As we witness the exponential demand for these services across the globe, the purpose-built, proximity-based data center plays a critical role in ensuring that the applications, workloads and data sets are as close as possible to the customers who are using and accessing them,” explains Lawson-Shanks.  “I’m looking forward to sharing my experience and insight with attendees at Datacloud Europe in an effort to educate others, to collaborate with industry peers and to discuss advancement our industry.”

In its twelfth year, Datacloud Europe 2016 will converge over 2000 attendees, including executives from leading infrastructure and connectivity companies, cloud and data center providers, enterprises, investors, and government agencies.  The event will provide educational sessions, networking opportunities, and product and services exhibitions to highlight the critical ecosystem of cloud connectivity, fiber networks and data centers as the utilities to the world’s businesses.
