Energy - Creating Greener Data Centres

Aims

It is estimated that the data centre industry consumes approximately 1.5% of the world’s energy. With rising energy costs, increasing demand for computer power, environmental concerns and financial issues, demand for greener, more efficient data centres is growing dramatically

IT managers and Data Centre professionals must continually monitor and review their systems, to ensure optimal performance is being achieved while in parallel, leading the search for more innovative ways to bring down operating costs and create a greener data centre. This is not easy task but there are an increasing number of options becoming available to mangers to help them achieve their goals. 

A well planned, designed and managed data centre will reduce energy demand, improve system reliability, enhance performance and most importantly, dramatically reduce its operating costs at the same time. The Creating a Greener Data Centre one day course aims to give delegates the knowledge and information needed to design and implement changes that will optimize operational performance, lower energy consumption and create a greener data centre.
