This is a DCSG joint event with the Grid Computing Now! knowledge transfer network.

Rising energy costs and the increased awareness of climate change are forcing companies to make their IT provision more energy efficient. There are many competing claims for technologies and approaches to achieve this aim. In this webinar, we hear from the front line of practical efforts to save energy and look forward to how new models might cut through the confusion.

Nic Barnes will explain what Merrill Lynch observed when they applied virtualisation on the desktop and in the server room. He will show the importance of measuring real gains in practice. Liam Newcombe will describe the work of the BCS in evaluating metrics and in developing a model for predicting data centre efficiency. This approach will allows manager to plan and evaluate designs in advance of their implementation.
