After a very long hiatus, I have finally started working on a new episode of IT Insight. I am currently attending an IBM technical sales manager meeting in Sao Paulo, Brazil and since the weather is terrible and there isn’t much to do around the hotel I decided to work on a presentation on a subject I really care about, the environment.
Few probably know that Data Centers in the U.S. currently consume 1.5% of the electric energy produced in the country. If Data Centers become greener by reducing energy consumption and recycling e-waste, it can mean a big difference. As technologists we have to understand what can and needs to be done in order to reach those objectives.
I have already published the slides, but I will record and publish the podcast episode once I get back home, probably this week-end.
