Session Details - Green IT - Leveraging Technology
Because of their common reliance on fossil fuel-based energy sources, data centers are generating a growing carbon footprint and raising significant concern among industry participants and government entities. Data centers are faced with the dual challenges of growing power consumption and increased carbon emissions, while at the same time trying to meet increased demand for data center space due to proliferation of web-based applications, digital data creation and data retention regulations.
The data center industry is beginning to understand the scope of this trend and how it’s impacting lives and businesses. As a result, organizations are beginning to optimize their data center infrastructures and implement initiatives that make greater use of green energy resources.
This session will discuss how to leverage technology for sustainability by using alternative renewable energy sources such as geothermal and hydro power, which are relatively abundant and essentially inexhaustible.
