Opening Keynote Address: Green IT in 2009: Balancing Responsibility, Accountability, and the Economy
Can an aggressive Green strategy survive in a down economy? Will the organization pay more for the environmentally correct solution? Will you have a choice with pending legislation and new administration in Washington? Our keynote presentation will discuss the challenges of achieving this delicate balance; helping you on your journey to create a realistic, cost-driven plan that balances your company's requirements with everyone's need to better support the environment.
Panel Discussion: It's Not Easy Being Green - A Path to the Sustainable Data Center
A green IT solution doesn't just happen. It requires planning, analysis and careful choices, so you're able to truly improve efficiency, cut your energy use, and reduce your carbon footprint. And it also takes planning so that you implement Green IT in a way that helps your bottom line.
Panel Discussion: Managing the Data Center Real Estate Boom
One of the lesser known benefits to green data centers is that they usually take up less space, and require less specialized support when compared with their more traditional cousins. While the cost of the space and facilities that the data center occupies and uses is rarely part of the IT bottom line, it's still part of the corporate bottom line, and that matters a lot when you're selling a corporate move to a green IT solution.
Panel Discussion: Power to the IT People - Reducing Consumption
Green IT means choosing computing platforms that use less electricity than the platforms they replace, either because there are fewer of them, because the platforms use less electricity, or a combination of both. And, the less electricity that's used, the less heat that is produced, which saves you even more. As a side benefit, higher performance systems also mean your staff can do more with less, so you won't need to hire more people when your IT requirements grow.
