Green is in-and every storage vendor out there has a green story to tell. Greg Schulz, Founder and Senior Analyst, StorageIO will be discussing issues, trends, drivers and what technology and best practices can be applied today to address data and storage footprint growth to enable and sustain business and economic growth. Despite the vendor and industry hyperbole about the environmental benefits of their products, there are still no standard metrics by which to measure and compare power consumption or energy efficiency claims. The challenge is sorting out and closing the gap between vendor green messaging and IT data center issues including power, cooling, floor space and other environmental topics including RoHS and e-waste disposal.

This session looks at several practical techniques, strategies and technologies that you can leverage today to achieve an energy efficiency data center to sustain business growth in an economical and ecological friendly manner.
