A Comprehensive Approach to Reducing Data Center Energy Consumption
Posted on Thu, Oct 14, 2010 @ 09:36 AM
The data center is a common starting point for most green IT initiatives. Data centers not only consume a tremendous amount of energy, but are riddled with IT inefficiencies. Take, for example, the average server environment where over 30% of servers are “dead” — consuming energy, but performing no useful work.
Today, Data Center Managers have the opportunity to improve efficiencies across the data center – from servers to other IT systems - like storage and networks, and facilities equipment, like power distribution and cooling.
Next week, Mike Rowan, Co-Founder and CTO of Viridity Software, will be joining a panel of thought leaders in this area to discuss A Comprehensive Approach to Reducing Data Center Energy Consumption at the Interop conference (October 18 – 22, New York, NY). The panel, chaired by Doug Washburn, Analyst, Infrastructure and Operations, Forrester Research, is intended to help data center managers develop a comprehensive green data center framework across their server, storage, network and facilities assets to deliver financial and environmental savings.
We hope to see you there!
