The Value of Green IT – Where are CIOs seeing the biggest pay-off?

Philip Carter, Associate Research Director, 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.

Energy Effectiveness in the Data Centre 

Durgadutt Nedungadi, Director – Marketing & Alliances, Technology Solutions Group, HP India

Maximum energy efficiency in the data center can only be achieved by addressing all operational aspects, from the data center infrastructure to energy efficiently platforms. This session will describe the key components for balancing energy consumption with performance, provide specific examples and best practices, and discuss how to achieve an integrated approach.

1115

Intel & Eco-Technology - Driving Energy Efficiency

Lorie Wigle, General Manager, Eco-Technology Program Office, Intel Corporation and President, Climate Savers Computing Initiative

The presentation will discuss the importance of energy efficiency & Intel's role in energy efficiency. Discussion will include Intel's commitment to sustainability, product design, data centre best practices as well as Intel's policy and industry leadership role in driving eco-technology adoption.

Green IT: Virtualization & Automation 2.0

Sandeep Menon, Country Head, Novell India 

Virtualization is gaining momentum in data centers around the world. More than just a key technology towards Green computing, perception and expectations of virtualization now encompasses the bigger picture of Data Center Automation. This session will walk through, with live demonstrations, the virtualization & automation solutions from Novell.

Virtual Protocol Interconnect (VPI): Solve Your Key Data Center Connectivity Issues and Get Green

Nimrod Gindi, Director Corporate Strategy, Mellanox Technologies

The demands on data center I/O connectivity continue to increase with the deployment of multi-core CPUs, virtualization, networked storage, clustered databases, and low-latency applications in financial services, health services, Web 2.0, and the commercial high performance computing sector. Multiple interconnect protocols and fabrics exist to provide the best-of-breed connectivity for certain applications, but the ideal solution is a flexible I/O adapter solution that can address all workloads. In addition, data centers are driving to replace multiple slower speed adapters with one higher speed adapter to save power, cost, cabling and complexity while not compromising lost functionality and performance.

Ballroom No. 2 Ballroom No. 1
Journey to designing an innovative & energy efficient data centre of the future Energy Optimisation Workshop
Altaf Girkar, Business Development Manager – Server, Storage and Datacenter Services, HP R Ravichandran, Director - Sales, Intel South Asia

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 

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
