Data centre movers and shakers are getting ready to converge on this year’s Datacloud Europe industry event in Monaco.

The 3-4 June conference is aimed at IT and cloud Infrastructure executives. The event will focus on the radical impact of the cloud on data centres, the continuing evolution of new innovations in cooling and energy, and the way in which enterprise services are delivered and sourced.
