Measuring Your Green IT Baseline - Your First Step To Greener IT
With Solarflare CTO, Dr. George Zimmerman
Thursday, November 19, 2009 | 3:00 pm-4:00 pm

The old adage that "you can't manage what you can't measure" is relevant to any IT project, green or not. So before re-architecting your data center or purchasing new energy-saving IT equipment, measure your green IT baseline - an annual estimate of the energy consumption, carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, and financial costs of operating IT. Not only will this data offer a practical green IT starting point by exposing your most eco-taxing assets, but without it you cannot accurately quantify and report the benefits of your greening efforts to senior management. This panel discussion will offer IT professionals practical steps to measuring the energy consumption of IT assets within and outside of the data center - the first step to greener IT.
