The new data center hybrid and cloud models are causing an increase in new data center builds, retrofits and consolidations. When taking on one of these new initiatives, data center management must always seriously look at reducing their carbon footprint by implementing as many new green options as possible. This session will cover “green structures” and sustainable initiatives to consider. The session will then switch gears and cover how John recently consolidated two data centers using this information. Metrics and ROI will be covered as well as how to implement your green initiatives for free or at a greatly reduced cost.
