Klein To Moderate Panel On Data Center Markets: Online Tech announced Tuesday that Mike Klein, Online Tech's President, has been selected to moderate a five-person panel discussion "Secondary Cities & Beyond" at the IMN (Information Management Network) Conference to be held Nov. 9 and 10 in Los Angeles, Calif. Klein's panel will discuss the differences between Tier 1 data center markets such as New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles, and secondary markets found in states like Michigan, Iowa, and Nebraska. While the requirements for redundancy and availability don't change across these markets, the supply and demand dynamics are certainly different. Panel members will share the market dynamics as seen in their home markets of Michigan, Iowa, Nebraska, Oregon, and Northern California. The IMN conference brings together senior executives from some of the most prominent data center owners, tenants, investors, capital and service providers to discuss the evolving data center market. The conference will focus on the growing demand for data centers and colocation and the threats and opportunities cloud computing brings to the market.
