Webinar: IT Efficiency: The Critical Core of Digital Sustainability

Presentation Title:
IT efficiency: the critical core of digital sustainability

Presenter:
Andy Lawrence, Executive Director of Research
Jay Dietrich, Research Director of Sustainability

Summary:

IT equipment (servers, storage and networking) accounts for a significant proportion of a data center’s energy use. Unfortunately, IT efficiency often goes unmentioned in sustainability reports. Data shows a lot of this energy use is wasted, despite efficiency improvements achieved in the last decade.

This discussion provides data center managers an overview of available measurements, metrics and hardware and software tools that can be incorporated in a data center sustainability strategy to improve IT energy efficiency without reducing performance or resiliency.
