extremelyknowledgeable speakerswhohaveprovidedconsiderableeducational value to theaudience. There
has beenmuch information sharing regarding important topics of the day such as harmonics, watts per sq.
ft., highdensitycooling, andenergyefficiency. Healthydebates areahallmarkof 7x24Exchangeconferences
and there have beenmany on controversial positions, including an epic debate I distinctly remember on
data center redundancy versus probable risk analysis. The value of open and candid discussion with end

design highlighted tomanufacturers and eventually resolved. 7x24 Exchange has strived to provide this
