Looking forward to connecting with old friends and meeting new ones at the W.Media Awards taking place this very evening.

And yes, it's all about data centres.

The Awards

In its 4th year, the Awards will champion the 3 P's of the Cloud and Data Centre industry: namely, Planet, Project, and People.

I'm not involved in the judging, but I hear that the competition is intense with many high-quality entries across the three categories.

Looking forward to the announcements of the winners over the course of the evening!

Learning together

I've written much about data centres over the past year, including unfortunate outages and disasters that have made national (and international) headlines.

While the industry does certainly learn from mistakes, we can similarly gain valuable insights from successful operations and best practices.

To me, that's what the Awards is about. And the celebration of innovation, excellence, and hard work will only spur the industry to greater heights.

It's all about the people

Some have asked me how I became so conversant about the data centre and cloud industry overnight. The secret? It wasn't overnight.

I've written about data centres and tracked the growth of the cloud for a decade now. I've written hundreds of articles and interviewed many scores of leaders hailing from the industry.

All I will say is that it's the people that make all the difference.

  • Experts who cut through the fluff.
  • Visionaries who are three steps ahead.
  • Specialists who deploy and maintain the systems.

And many of them will be at the Awards.

Catch up with you in a moment!
