Posted on Wed, May 05, 2010 @ 04:17 PM
On May 13, 2010 at 12:00 p.m. EST, Jed Scaramella, senior research analyst for IDC's Enterprise Platforms and Datacenter Trends, IDC and Mike Rowan, CTO, Viridity Software will discuss how to get started on a more efficient data center.
Jed Scaramella will be presenting his latest research: “Data Center Energy Management: How Rising Costs, High Density, and Virtualization Are Making Energy Management a Requirement for IT Availablity.” This IDC Insight provides an overview of energy efficiency in the datacenter, the business impacts from power and cooling challenges, and how energy management solutions can balance the needs of controlling operating expenses and delivering the required SLAs. The study examines the worldwide server energy expense by the size of datacenter and provides historical and forecast data for the increasing server and rack densities. It also examines the energy savings customers have realized through virtualization and how the required increase in memory levels for virtualized systems have impacted server power consumption. An analysis of datacenter energy management is provided that includes a basic taxonomy, the different components and capabilities of the solutions, and a brief overview of the types of vendors in the market.
Mike Rowan will be discussing Viridity Software and will give a demonstration of Viridity EnergyCenter software.
