The theme of the conference is ‘Aligning the Data Center with Business Strategy', and will address the omnipresent role of data centers in the overall strategy of today's businesses.

Levitt will participate on the panel entitled ‘The Build vs. Buy Decision in 2013', taking place on Wednesday, October 2, 2013 in the Grand Salon 1-2 from 9:00 AM to 9:50 AM local time.

Levitt will offer his executive insights and best practices for identifying and obtaining a custom data center solution designed to meet companies' specific infrastructure needs, budgetary parameters and overall business objectives.
