Event

Thursday, November 8, 2007 — WiTT Roundtable

Topic: "The Data Center Dilemma"

IT Industry Panel Discussion co-hosted by the Nashville Technology Council (NTC) and Women in Technology of Tennessee (WiTT)

• What exactly is a "Green Data Center" and how do you get one?
• Do blade servers and virtualization really save money?
• What other technologies are on the horizon that can potentially help save space, power and cooling?
• What can we do if we can't start from scratch with a new facility?
• What other "Green Building" ideas can my company implement?
• Is outsourcing still a viable model, or are they facing the same issues?
• Does it make sense to consolidate multiple datacenters into one?

Gartner estimates that power and cooling costs are upwards of 40% of a CIO's operating budget, and that 85% of datacenters are currently running out of power and/or space.

NTC and WiTT are proud to team up for the first time for this special event!

Location: HCA Data Center (Building #4)
