The Value of Green IT - where are CIOs seeing the biggest pay-off? |
| |
|
 |
Philip Carter
Associate Research Director, Asia/Pacific IT Services Research, IDC Asia/Pacific |
| |
|
This session will look at market forces, regulations and primary drivers for the adoption of Green IT in the Asia/Pacific region. It will include examples best practice deployment case studies, highlighting where CIOs are using Green technology to not only cut operating costs, but also to positively impact the environment in terms of electricity consumption & IT equipment recycling initiatives. It will also provide insights into the buying behavior of Asia/Pacific companies with respect to Green IT, based on CIO interviews captured from the IDC Asia/Pacific Green Poll. Finally, IDC will share some of the results of the first phase of the Green Index - an assessment of the 'Greenness' of the leading ICT players and their activities relating to Green IT in the region. |

Workshop 1
Energy Efficiency Workshop: Journey to designing an innovative & energy efficient data center of the future |
Workshop 2
Energy Optimization Workshop |

Jane Rushton
Enterprise Program Manager for Data Centre Services, HP |
 |
Eddie Toh
Regional Platform Marketing Manager
Server Platforms Group, Asia Pacific, Intel Technology Asia Pte Ltd |
Today’s new reality is that the data centre does not support the business—it powers the business. Data centre risks are now business risks, and data centre opportunities are now business opportunities. And business success is inextricably linked to data centre strategy. However, many businesses with last-generation data centres are facing obstacles—skyrocketing energy costs, infrastructure and capacity restrictions, and limited power availability—that could impede business success. Computing-demand growth is exacerbating the increase in global energy use; and data centres, in particular—because of hardware cooling requirements—are the focus of attention.
To narrow the gap between the demands of computing performance and the adoption of energy-efficiency improvements, this workshop seeks to help attendees understand some of the energy-efficient strategies that can be implemented in ways that do not compromise data centre availability, performance, or security. Attendees will go through scenario planning in an interactive session with experts that are leaders in energy-efficiency facilities design, energy modelling, measurement, and verification.
At HP, we want to help your organization create an energy-efficient data centre that allows you to control costs, conserve energy, cut your carbon footprint, and achieve sustainable business outcomes.
|
This workshop will show how accelerating infrastructure refresh can reduce your costs while reducing your carbon footprint. ROI analysis will be used to quantify the potential efficiencies that can be gained by deploying servers based on the latest Intel Xeon processors, and also illustrate how HP can bring additional benefits from chip to chiller in the data center. |
