About the lecture

The lecture will deal with current problems of building networks, servers and data centers, best practices in building infrastructure that reduce the cost and increase the energy efficiency of cloud data centers.
You will learn about the importance of energy efficiency at all levels of the computing infrastructure and how you can calculate the total cost of ownership using a holistic approach that includes the purchase price of server hardware, specific energy consumption, energy efficiency and infrastructure management costs.

Dilip Bhandarkar will also talk about how new technologies, such as flash drives (or solid-state drives), low-power x86 chips, ARM SOCs, chips used for product labeling, and software-based networks can make a breakthrough in the cloud industry in the future.

About speaker

Dileep Bhandarkar
Microsoft Leading Expert (Distinguished Engineer) in the field of developing server hardware architecture and standards for the Global Foundation Services division.

Dr. Dilip Bhandarkar is leading the development of a technology strategy for Microsoft's cloud and online services infrastructures. He joined Microsoft as a lead engineer in May 2007. Responsible for server hardware architecture and Global Foundation Services (GFS) standards. GFS supports over 200 Microsoft online services for consumers and businesses worldwide.

Prior to working at Microsoft, Dilip was the director of advanced architectures for the Digital Enterprise Group at Intel and was the leading Intel representative in the promotion of server platforms for industry and finance professionals. Dilip has been an honorary lecturer at Intel (Distinguished Lecturer) for several years. At Intel, he was instrumental in making a strategic decision to adapt AMD's x86-compatible 64-bit architecture in Intel processors and was the founder of the development of energy-efficient microprocessor cores in Intel products.

Prior to joining Intel in 1995, Dr. Bhandarkar spent almost 18 years at Digital Equipment Corporation, where he was responsible for the architecture of processors and systems, as well as performance issues in VAX, Prism, MIPS and Alpha projects. He also worked at the Texas Instruments research lab for 4 years, working on issues such as the creation of CMD memory, charge-coupled devices, fault-tolerant memory, and computer architecture.

Dr. Bhandarkar received 16 US patents and is the author of more than 30 technical articles in various journals, as well as the author of the book Alpha Implementations and Architecture.

In 1997, Dilip was elected an honorary member of the IEEE organization (IEEE Fellow) for his contribution to technological leadership in developing the principles of the RISC architecture and analyzing the performance of computer systems. In 1998, he was recognized as an outstanding graduate of the Indian Institute of Technology in Bombay, where he received a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering in 1970. Dilip later earned a master’s and Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Carnegie Mellon University.
