| "The Green Data Center: Trends and Opportunities in Power Efficient Computing" CommNexus. The explosive growth of the Internet economy is leading to the construction of more power hungry data centers to accommodate the need for search, e-commerce, digital content serving, enterprise applications, and other online ventures. This trend is putting the IT world on a collision course with the rising costs of electricity generation and concerns about the impacts of conventional power plants on global climate change. However, potential solutions exist to reduce the power “footprint” of data center equipment and innovative “green” design techniques to improve the efficiency of heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems for data centers. A panel of experts will discuss the promising research and opportunities for innovation in green data center technology. See http://www.commnexus.org |
