Energy Efficient IT Virtual Tradeshow:
The New Power Economy: Cutting Energy Costs While Driving Performance
April 24, 2007

Internet search giant Google says that it will spend more money on energy to drive its servers than the initial cost of the server hardware. The Environmental Protection Agency will be studying energy consumption in US data centers. Meanwhile, organizations of all sizes are looking at higher electric bills and ways to make IT infrastructures more energy efficient.

Rising energy prices and the steadily increasing demand for server horsepower and storage space have made the costs of power consumption impossible to ignore. Inefficient hardware wastes electricity and generates excess heat, spurring the need for additional cooling equipment, which consumes yet more power. Many businesses are struggling with this vicious cycle within their data centers, and the push for energy-efficiency is expected to stretch outside the data center and across the organization very soon.

The Ziff Davis Energy-efficient IT Virtual Tradeshow provides a host of resources to help attendees reduce their energy expenditures while maintaining high performance IT infrastructures. In panels and keynote presentations, industry experts will present best practices, debate current issues, and answer your tough questions on energy-efficient IT. Attendees also have access to our Virtual Tradeshow floor, where you can network with your peers, get your unique deployment questions answered by vendor representatives, and take away up-to-the minute product data and reference information.
