Solution provider session Synopsis

Data Centre Economics

Whether the economy or your business is shrinking or growing it is easy to overlook the tangible benefits of a comprehensive energy efficiency strategy. All too often these benefits are lost in the sea of unclear Green - and often conflicting - messaging aimed at business leaders. While power availability has been a problem, EU legislation is also likely to be a key factor in the medium term with Carbon Reduction targets driving efficiency measures.

This session will discuss the pragmatic steps available to improve energy efficiency and carbon reduction, studying how Dell's internal efforts have resulted in substantial operational savings and continue to help our customers achieve similar savings worldwide.
