The ‘Summer Scan’ series provides data centre community professionals with a summer-weight way of scanning the ideas shaping the industry. Each Summer Scan session contains a video – of a panel debate, a breakout session or one of the Academic Congress presentations delivered by a world-leading expert – that was originally presented at the Great Canadian Data Centre Symposium (GCDCS19) on June 19th-20th at McMaster Innovation Park in Hamilton, Ontario.
In this Summer Scan, we present a highlight from GCDCS19: a video of the “all-star plenary panel” – including:
- Eugene Roman, former IT leader for Bell, Open Text and Canadian Tire
- Data centre industry legend Peter Gross
- Stephan Abraitis, VP Data Centre Infrastructure & Strategy, RBC
- Dr. Ghada Badawy, Principal Research Engineer, CIRC
- Francois Sterin, Chief Industrial Officer, OVH Group
- Andrew Dillane, President and Chief Product Officer at Curasion, and past President, CIO Association of Canada
- Rami Radi, Senior Software Application Engineer, Intel
