Green IT: Separating Hype from Real Implications for Today's IT Leader
| |
| |
It has become a cliché that "in today's economy IT leaders have to cut costs and make the most efficient use of resources." In this context, concepts like Green IT are dismissed as meaningless hype or an unnecessary distraction from the day-to-day opeerations of the IT department.
However, while IT has largely been given an environmental pass as the green lobby takes on the manufacturing, energy and chemical industries, things are beginning to change. IT managers will soon find themselves confronted with their own environmental issues stemming from runaway growth in power consumption, data center construction sprawl, and growing challenge of e-waste disposal.
The good news is that IT organziations are already taking many steps to "green" their data center--even if they don't call it that. In this presenation, IT leaders will learn of the growing threat from the green movement, what is already being done to "green" the data center, how to demonstrate steps being taken to reduce the carbon footprint, and additional steps firms can take to show customers that their organization is environmentally conscious.

Elaine Lennox, Vice President of Dynamic Infrastructure - Systems & Technology Group, IBM
Businesses are under increasing pressure to reduce cost, improve service, manage risk, and demonstrate environmentally responsible practices to their customers and stakeholders. Data Centers are running out of space and hitting limits with their power and cooling infrastructures. How can companies improve energy efficiency across the IT and facilities infrastructure? Join us and review the dramatic advances for green infrastructure that a business can leverage to reduce costs, resolve power and cooling constraints, improve flexibility and responsiveness, and demonstrate progress towards a company's overall green objectives.
