Going Green: Saving Energy and Maximizing ROI in the Data Center
Sponsored by GTSI
FREE Seminar: Thursday, March 27, 2008
7:45am - Noon
The Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center
Atrium Ballroom, Washington, DC
Reduced environmental impact. Increased capacity. Greater efficiency. These are the metrics of green IT
Getting to green requires agencies to rethink how they acquire, implement, manage and dispose of technology. New approaches and technology promoting energy efficiency must be balanced with agencies’ need to leverage existing IT infrastructures. Additionally, during the process of greening the data center, all operations must be maintained without interruption and at the highest service levels. Virtualization, high-density computing, and capacity and power management can produce the significant environmental and performance payoffs that government agencies require.
This half-day seminar will highlight the cascading benefits and cost savings a green strategy can provide. Representatives from industry and government will explore the trends and new technology driving agencies to implement energy efficiency initiatives. Discussions will explore the far-reaching impact that green IT strategies will have on evolving data centers. And presentations will provide tactics for greening the data center without compromising availability, security, and throughput.
Join your colleagues to address emerging challenges and how technology can support meeting these requirements. Hear from agency colleagues who are deploying EA principles to create “borderless enterprises,” structured to deliver superior customer service and secure information across their extended enterprises wherever they conduct business--at the headquarters, regional offices, and from the mobile workforce.
Seminar attendees will gain insight into the most effective approaches for going green by learning:
- The impact the latest trends in physical server, operating system, and application management tools will have on greening the data center.
- Best practices for server and storage virtualization and upgrading power and cooling technology.
- Proven approaches for modeling and reconfiguring the physical space.
- How to build a power usage baseline.
- The affects virtualization has on utilization and energy consumption, and the long-term environmental and economic impact it can have on the data center.
Space is limited.
