– More than 100 companies will be present on the DataCentres Ireland 2019 exhibition floor, running the gamut of services available to data centres.
Over 100 exhibitors will be on hand at Data Centres Ireland 2019, demonstrating their expertise and commercial propositions for visitors to the RDS.
Event Sponsors
ESB, one of the main event sponsors, will be present in the main hall, and given how energy consumption issues have come to the fore in recent years it will be a must-see for visitors. The company, which generated 43% of all electricity in Ireland, north and south, currently serves 1.4 million customers across the island.
ESB’s focus on data centre power use comes at a time of transition for the industry. A 2019 survey data from data centre power specialists Vertiv suggests expectations are down, previous predictions of major growth in renewable energy generation supporting data centres by 2025 were described as “unrealistic”.
Engineering consultancy Hanley Energy, a specialist in energy management, critical power supply and IT infrastructure, will demonstrate how energy can be viewed from the other perspective: ensuring it is always available.
“By taking [our] key capabilities, harnessing the great value that exists in them and offering it as an advisory service, we elevate our value proposition to clients within the critical energy sector,” said Andrew Dobson, Head of Global Sales.
Energy will not be the only topic of course, with a wide array of exhibitors. CBRE, for instance, will demonstrate its strategies for the minimisation of operational risk, cost reduction, and improving alignment between real estate and information technology. Airedale International, the British-based air conditioning solutions provider, will be demonstrating its new range of R32-optimised air conditioning products.
Visitors will have direct access to these and other exhibitors, including legal service firms, cabling providers, IT equipment suppliers, and businesses working in lighting, construction, security, fire suppression and more. 
 
Dual-Stream Conference Presentations
Running alongside this will be a dual-stream conference, with operational and strategy streams.
The conference’s strategy stream will look at what is driving the growth of the data centre market, both internationally and in Ireland.
 
DataCentres Ireland 2019 will be held in the RDS on Tuesday 19 and Wednesday 20 November, and entry is free for registered visitors.
