“There are no degrees out there that say you’re a data center manager. The amount of knowledge that Uptime Institute brings together for the Symposium is invaluable.”
– Mike Salvador, Associate Director of Data Center and Computing Infrastructure, Chicago Mercantile Exchange


"This Symposium provides an opportunity to learn from real people who actually run data centers. In the absence of sales pressure, this technical forum is the best format for learing about optimizing efficiency of cooling planning."

-Greg Fennewald, Senior Manager, Data Center Design, eBay


"Continuous availability can only be achieved when cooling systems are designed, installed, and operated properly. This Symposium is an excellent opportunity to learn what does and doesn't work."
-Wayne Whitcomb, Principal Electrical Engineer, Boeing


"Rarely do you hear anything about linking Facilities with IT. Rarely do you see interaction between IT and Facilities. The integration of IT and Facilites is critical to our business. It ensures optimal decisions are made, overall. This Symposium is the first, forward-thinking event designed to address this critical issue."
-Tom Walrath, Senior Director Facility Management, Thomson Legal & Regulatory


"I believe this Symposium is different from others: both the presenters and attendees have knowledge, experience, and concerns about high-density computer environments"
-Dave Rotheroe, Infrastructure Expert, HP
