What is Thirst For Innovation?

What is Thirst For Innovation?

Established in early 2021, the aim of this programme is to bring together industry leaders (operators, service providers and vendors) to participate in making the necessary change for digital infrastructure management in data centers.

Be pioneers of change

Analysts at Gartner believe that, by 2025, data centers will be AI powered, robot-led and machine-learning-enabled. As we’re on the precipice of an evolution, we believe those that will succeed are the pioneers of change, rather than disrupted by it.

Join the Revolution

There’s a lot to learn - and fast - which is why we are hosting a programme of Thirst For Innovation events throughout 2025.

The future for DCIM is universal intelligent infrastructure management (UIIM)

These events act as a platform for industry leaders to collaborate and drive the necessary changes in infrastructure management. Through digital transformation, we know that the data center of the future will be very different from the one we know today.

Dissolving the Fog - Aiming for One Federated DCIM Solution

18 January 2024

Christ Church, Spitalfields, Commercial St, London

Do we need a more standardized way of creating and sharing data center operational information?

Currently, we struggle with proprietary protocols which limit our access to essential management information. This also inhibits our ability to provide accurate and insightful ESG and Resource Efficiency Information (including energy efficiency).

WHAT'S NEXT FOR DCIM?

The ultimate goal is for DCIM to move on from its current methodology and create a market where all data center operators have one federated system that enables efficient and safe operations – from physical risks to adhering to policies and procedures.


In a modern distributed and hybrid data center world this is almost impossible to achieve without coherent management information beyond the abilities of individual humans.
