Opening Keynote Address:
Greening the Data Center and Your Company's Bottom Line
Energy consumption in the data center traditionally has not been a major consideration, but thanks to the growing cost of energy, impending regulations, and the desire to reduce environmental impacts, more companies are looking at ways to reduce their energy needs. This keynote address will look at ways to keep the data center running smoothly while using much less power, how companies can assess their current energy reduction opportunities, and how to take steps to go green for both existing and new data centers.

Hot Button Panel One:
Becoming More Energy Efficient, Simply
Companies looking to go green need not have to replace their existing IT infrastructure. Simple changes in the way they do their business, such as telecommuting, may be enough to put them on the path to being more energy efficient. And technologies such as virtualization, ILM and power consumption monitoring software are helping streamline a company’s operations and reduce energy usage. This panel looks at the different tactics companies can use to become green easily and cost-effectively.

Hot Button Panel Two:
Taking Out the Trash: E-Waste
It is estimated that each year 500 million obsolete computers and 130 million cell phones are thrown out, dumping hazardous materials into the regular waste stream. But EPA and state regulations are cracking down on such practices, and companies who fail to comply could face hefty fines. This panel discusses the myriad regulations regarding e-waste and explores the way businesses can properly dispose of their outdated and unnecessary IT equipment.

Hot Button Panel Three:
Energy Waste: Whose Problem Is It?
Technology traditionally has been under the purview of the IT department, yet power and cooling have been the bailiwick of facilities management. But as the two departments converge under the auspices of Green IT, whose responsibility does energy efficiency become? This panel examines the ways in which companies can remove the silos between departments to further energy efficiency, including sharing the benefits.
