Reducing data center energy consumption is not only an environmental imperative and growing regulatory compliance strategy, but also a smart way for IT organizations to dramatically cut costs. Based on technical research and experience, this presentation provides design strategies and best practices to leverage and optimize virtual infrastructure to shrink data center footprint, reduce energy consumption, and dramatically increase compute capacity. This data center optimization blueprint will allow enterprises to extend the life of existing data centers and avoid huge costs to build new facilities.
This session will discuss:
-Why are most existing data centers inefficient energy hogs that cost too much to operate and maintain
-Why "inside-out" design is critical to data center optimization
-Why virtual infrastructure is the single most important technology to optimize your data center
-Best practices, design strategies and technologies critical to both Green IT and cost reduction
-Blueprint for data center optimization to compute more, consume less
-How to accelerate virtualization and data center transformation to achieve rapid ROI
