Jay Taylor, Dell Global Strategist and ITI Energy Star® Working Group Chairman, to Keynote the Advanced Datacenter Energy Solutions Seminar Series, Presented April 9 in New York City by Stony Brook University, the Advanced Energy Research and Technology Center, the Center of Excellence in Wireless and Information Technology, the National Grid, AFCO Systems and Other Leaders in Education, Research, Energy Management and Technology
Farmingdale, NY (PRWEB) March 17, 2008 -- Managing power consumption today is a national concern shared among multiple groups within organizations of all sizes -- facilities, engineering and information technology. Nowhere is it a more delicate balancing act than in the corporate datacenter, where the growing demand for servers, storage and networking infrastructure is straining traditional cooling and power efficiency methods. According to recent EPA reports, datacenter energy usage, and the power and cooling infrastructure that support it, have doubled during the past five years. To help organizations assess datacenter energy efficiency and learn proactive datacenter power consumption and cooling techniques that can also reduce costs, leaders in education, research, energy management and technology are presenting the Advanced Datacenter Energy Solutions Seminar Series on Wednesday, April 9 from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the American Conference Center in New York City. Dell Global Strategist and ITI Energy Star Working Group Chairman, Jay Taylor, will keynote this "must attend event" for professionals responsible for their organization's energy efficiency.
