Latane Garetson will discuss the strategy behind the shift in the data center footprint and how the company designed custom hardware and the software that ties it together in a single, highly distributed computing platform. He’ll explain how Dropbox optimized its West Coast strategy to align with these goals, share details around execution of the plan on a tight schedule, and discuss some of the challenges the company faced along the way. |

| Too often, data center professionals rely on hard data to make decisions. Crunching numbers to support an outcome. But truly creative and innovative people learn when and how to trust their instinct. Duncan Wardle, believes that everyone is creative. And that the ability to think creatively is the one core human truth that will remain relevant in the brave new world of Artificial Intelligence. Leaning on 25 years with the Walt Disney Company, Wardle is now on a mission to prove that everyone is creative, by designing a tangible innovation tool kit that normal people can use to “Think Different;” to solve real challenges back in the marketplace. |
