Global Warming: Tech Strategies to Reduce Carbon Footprints for Telecom Sector

The Kyoto Climate Change Accord created a market for carbon emissions credits. Now there is both federal and state regulation designed to impose a cap on all greenhouse gas emissions. Information technology (IT) has been a large source of carbon emissions and now develops solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Learn how IT services can promote energy efficient hardware and software from manufacturers, and increased energy-management on the part of individual users and IT managers to reduce their carbon footprint. How can computing and tech providers help meet those goals?

Green Data Center Challenges: Reducing Heat Production and Increasing Efficiency

The six million servers in America’s data centers, when factoring in the energy needed to run and cool the servers, consume more energy than the 300+ million televisions in the United States. Green computing—IT equipment, data centers, and servers -- consume huge amounts of energy and produce heat requiring energy for cooling. But now IT service providers and manufacturers must offer solutions to enterprise users that reduce energy consumption, maintain security, maximize productivity, and still operate at peak efficiency. What are the latest trends and developments in computer and IT data centers? How can we improve network capabilities with sustainable IT practices?

Speakers: Matt Heinz Senior Director of Marketing, Verdiem Corporation Richard McCormack, Senior Vice President, Marketing, Fujitsu Computer Systems Corporation Moderator: Bob Larribeau

Breakout Sessions:

2:45 pm - 3:15 pm

Green Products, Green Sourcing and Green Production: Building a Sustainable Supply Chain

Unless companies are willing to take a hard look at the sustainability practices of their entire supply chains, the true impact of their 'green' practices will be limited. Cisco has committed to design, source, produce, transport, package and distribute all of its products in an environmentally sustainable manner. The head of Cisco's green supply chain initiative will share lessons learned for creating a holistic, green supply chain action plan, motivating suppliers to take action and driving efficiencies and innovation across your supply chain. Explore how to identify and tackle the most significant environmental impactors for your business, while helping your customers achieve their green goals.

Edna Conway, Senior Director, Advanced Compliance and Social Responsibility, Cisco
