Join us on Tuesday, November 10th in West Palm as WITI discusses how to lay a green IT foundation for the future. Cloud Computing, Server and Desktop Consolidation and Virtualization, and Data Center Backup/Recovery/Archiving are all a part of laying a green IT Infrastructure and WITI will show you how to do it right.
Companies are being asked to quantify and reduce corporate energy use and environmental footprints, streamline supply chains, meet regulatory requirements and drive more energy-efficient operations. In short, organizations are being driven to adopt ‘green’ strategies. IT departments play a pivotal role in developing company’s direction with a green strategy and are therefore taking on projects to adopt newer technologies and update IT infrastructure in a manner that will impact the entire organization. IT is faced with the daunting task of streamlining network traffic, upgrading back-office systems, improving data center operations, and enabling virtualization without disrupting operations.
