Greening of IT
Had an opportunity to participate in a conference on IT Greening sponsored by the NYS Forum and NYSERDA. The primary focus was the sharing of energy saving best practices as they relate to IT. I had the pleasure to attend a session delivered by Brian Day, Senior Program Manager in Sun's Global Lab & Datacenter Design Services organization. He has been working on the consolidation and energy saving projects in California and Colorado. His presentation is pointer to his presentation.
FUTURE PROOFING THE DATACENTER - Eco DC Reality, April 30, 2009
Brian is part of a team that is documenting their best practices via the Sun Blueprints. Here are two of them:
Energy Efficient Datacenters - The Role of Modularity in Datacenter Design
Energy Efficient Datacenters - Electrical Design
I also enjoyed hearing Dr. Steven A. Leib's Updating an Inconvenient Truth which was an updated version of the material originally made presented by former Vice President Al Gore. Dr. Steven A. Leibo is the District Manager Upstate NY and VT, The
Climate Project.
