After years of uncontrolled growth, many datacentres face a
crisis as they run into space and power constraints. Even though
remedies to the problems exist, current typical business practices
concerning datacentres do not encourage the prioritisation of power
reduction within one of the most power hungry areas of a
business.
Datacentre utilisation and resourcing is becoming a huge issue.
According to research a worrying number of firms do not measure
utilisation and may have totally incorrect ideas as to the real
level of their resource usage.
This podcast will show how green IT is right at the heart of
addressing the current problem of datacentre resourcing and
utilisation. It will look at the green IT strategies that firms can
take in order to improve resourcing and utilisation
efficiencies
It will:
- Highlight the current datacentre landscape and what issues
exist regarding utilisation and resource usage
- Offer suggestions as to what technology and methodology
deployment is appropriate to solve these issues— blade severs,
increased virtualisation etc—and how they can be at the heart of
the green IT agenda
- Ask what pitfalls there may be in attempting to deploy such
solutions and how to avoid them
- What the future may bring in terms of energy-efficient
technologies that can bring about efficiencies in the
datacentre
