Managing and Controlling the IT Power Bill 2-day training seminar, $1,195

Overview

Who pays for IT and communications power? How much power is used? Can anyone do something about conserving IT and communications power? The cost of power and cooling the data center and communications closets is escalating. Gartner predicts that by 2009, power and cooling costs will be second to salaries in the IT budget. This seminar provides the energy conservation solutions available and their impact on the enterprise bottom line.

Participants will learn:

• Why is energy consumption a big issue for IT
• The trends in power production and charges
• How to analyze where power is consumed
• How IT equipment affects the cooling systems
• Through exercises, how to calculate power and cooling requirments
• What power is consumed by desktop and network devices
• About the issues of data center power planning
• How the communication closet is becoming a significant power consumer
• That Power over Ethernet (PoE) will continue to expand and force IT to be a power utility
• How to plan for backup power
• What vendors are doing to mitigate the power consumption problem

Who should attend
IT and communications managers, project managers, facilities planning staff, network architects, procurement specialists, resellers and system integrators, enterprise financial specialists.
