Ensuring the highest levels of availability and reliability is the easy part... as long as you are not concerned about energy consumption. But if you are trying to keep your data center on a strict carbon diet without impacting IT performance - whether it's better for the environment, or you just need to reduce energy costs - you will soon be faced with a Rubik's Cube of challenges and trade-offs. Join industry-leading executives from eBay, Skanska's Mission-Critical Center of Excellence, the Army Corps of Engineers' (USACE) Department of Defense (DoD) Supercomputing Resource Center (DSRC), and host EDSA in an eye-opening discussion about simultaneously optimizing data center availability, reliability, and sustainability without compromising on any of them. Whether you are just entering the design phase or needing to tame an existing facility, this will be a can't-miss session for anyone balancing performance vs. energy management over the lifecycle of their data center.
