This event will provide a unique opportunity to engage with industry leaders and peers in an intimate setting. Flower Drum is celebrated as one of Melbourne’s top restaurants, renowned for its exquisite cuisine and exceptional dining experience.

What is Think as a Service?

Think as a Service provides customers with the option to consume IT infrastructure as a monthly cost (OP-EX) instead of large upfront costs (CAP-EX), freeing up cash flow and allowing your organisation to invest in core operations. The two options available are ‘Think Infrastructure as a Service’ (Think IaaS) and ‘Think Disaster Recovery as a Service’ (Think DRaaS) built on Nutanix at NEXTDC.
