I found that in the last 11 Data Center World Events I have attended, the recent DCW Event was by far the best as far as the variety of industries represented for the sessions, the companies in the Expo Hall, products and solutions represented, decision makers, and sales opportunities were excellent. This will create many opportunities and networking relations for what we offer.
