Building the Energy-Efficient Business
The industry has recently been buzzing about the need to incorporate eco-friendly principles into its business practices. Whether spurred by government mandates to conserve energy resources, or by corporate financial need to cut operating expenses, the process of "going green" is an evolution and does not need to happen overnight. Building an eco-friendly environment can be implemented in phases by taking advantage of routine system upgrades to make the switch. Sun CIO Bob Worrall will discuss practical steps, and the resulting bottom-line benefits, of implementing new technologies to help drive down data center costs.
