(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- IT research group Tier1 Research (www.t1r.com) announced on Friday it will hold the Datacenter Transformation Summit – Silicon Valley (http://dtsummit.com) on December 8 at the Santa Clara Marriott in Santa Clara, California.
The conference follows the success of Tier1's Hosting Transformation Summit in September at the Mirage in Las Vegas.
Enterprise IT executives at some of the largest hosting and colocation firms will attend Tier1 Research's summit series.
At the Summit, they will discuss the reduction of capital expenditures, meeting the needs of business stakeholders and improving the RFP process to maximize value from IT investments.
DTSSV is designed to provide IT decision-makers with a range of data center information, including what type of data centers is best-suited for their business, the build vs. lease dilemma, growing concerns around data center regulation and the future of data center architecture.
"In bringing our Datacenter Transformation Summit to the West Coast, we were determined to provide enterprise IT executives with the invaluable resources that they would need to make more informed decisions around their infrastructure management," says Daniel Golding, vice president and research director of Tier1 Research and Conference Chair. "Given the current economic climate, we cannot stress to enterprise IT executives enough the importance of ensuring that their infrastructure is not only reliable, but that it also has minimal impact on their company."
The event will feature presentations from Mark Waddington, president of Quality Technology Services, John Sheputis, CEO of Fortune Data Centers, Billie Haggarad, VP of data centers at CoreSite, James Kennedy, senior manager of facilities at RagingWire and Michael Tobin, CEO of Telecity Group.
The research group recently released a new data center report that addresses the advancement of emerging data center technologies and the impending impact on the entire data center value chain.
More details on the Datacenter Transformation Summit are available at the conference's website and registration is now open here.

October 2009 - Web Hosting's All Star Team
This has been, for us, one of the most interesting, exciting and challenging build-ups to an issue of the magazine yet, Web Hosting's All Star Team. The balloting process was our first experiment with a kind of user participation we're planning to do a lot more with in the months to come. We had thousands of ballots submitted, with hundreds of write-in suggestions and a demonstration of user engagement that has us feeling super positive about the project.

July 2009 - What am I Worth?
One of the interesting luxuries of working on a project like the printed WHIR magazine is that it allows us to play with things like our point of view from one issue to the next. In recent months we've been giving added attention to the kind of practical and applicable advice aimed at smaller hosts and resellers. This issue carries on with that point of view, asking, in our cover story, "what am I worth?" It's a complicated question without a clear-cut answer.

May 2009 - The Blueprint for a Small Web Host
I was a little surprised by how difficult it became to see this idea through. We set out to assemble a blueprint for a small hosting business, but butted up pretty quickly against the general impossibility of covering all the territory that was out there to be covered. The basic constraints of a printed magazine, and the less-than-infinite amount of time we had available forced us to face the fact that we could never produce an exhaustive guide to starting a hosting company.
