Event Session Abstract Maximize Your VirtualizationPayoff: There's More Than You Think:
Businesses that virtualize can increase efficiency and reduce operating cost by eliminating low-performance or low-efficiency servers. Less well known, but equally important, is the parallel advantage of streamlining the legacy power and cooling systems that support these virtualized environments. This presentation will focus on how new power and cooling technologies and effective data center planning and design are saving additional electrical costs, sometimes even more than the original savings from virtualization. Also discussed is infrastructure capacity and change management, which can help manage the complexities of a virtualized environment by answering the not-so-obvious questions. Where should I locate my next server and Where should I migrate my applications to maximize efficiency?
Building a 20 Year Data Centre - in a Green Way!
Data centres have evolved from mainframe computer rooms to energy guzzling processing centers. Coordination of facilities and networking is only one small portion of the equation when planning a data center with growth and stability. Latency, power, recycling, and operational costs are all becoming critical considerations. What is the best design to provide for maximum savings on power, networking components, and cooling? This session will cover various design methodologies in light of newer technologies and standards. Coordination, cause and effect for all disciplines will be addressed for day one costs, as well as day two costs to provide maximum flexibility, functionality and savings.
Think Green - How Green Computing Pays for Itself:
Energy efficiency is a global issue with significant impact on all of us today, especially in the world of IT, and these energy issues are not going away any time soon. The cost and use of energy is only going to go up over time, but there are high financial impact solutions available today. This presentation will show how IBM can help you reduce the energy consumption in your data center, in some cases by 40 % to 50 %. There are significant savings and returns on your investment that are immediately available with the tools, techniques, services, offerings and technologies that we have today. IBM is deploying these capabilities with our clients and within IBM today to a great of success, we are results that are helping to drive success and reduce costs. Hear about some solutions you might want to think about to get started on the road to becoming more efficient and more green.
From KeyStrokes to Kilowatts: TheMandate for the EfficientEnterprise(tm) and How It WillChange the IT Landscape: This presentation reviews some of the key elements of the mandate for the Efficient Enterprise. To achieve the Efficient Enterprise, you will need the "Four C's"
Best in class COMPONENTS: including power, racks and cooling.
CLOSE COUPLED COOLING: learn how datacenters can be more efficient by design, eliminating the outdated "circle the wagons" approach to room design by closely connecting the heat generation to the cooling.
CONTAINMENT of the hot air created by high density applications such as blade servers that leads to a predictable, repeatable power and cooling architecture.
CAPACITY MANAGEMENT software to ensure quick and efficient technology rollouts without surprises and downtime.
Go from design to management using one powerful platform across all your power and cooling architecture.
