In December 2009, the Obama administration confirmed a pledge to a reduce greenhouse gases (GHG), with a 17% cut from 2005 levels by 2020, and 80% by 2050. One of three key focus areas at the Uptime Symposium 2010 is Sustainable IT and specifically, how to use IT and best practices to reduce waste of energy, water and other resources, and hold down carbon emissions.

In this presentation, Andy Hawkins of 1E explores the topic of measuring efficiencies in the data center, explains what can be done to identify and eliminate this waste and why this is the year to take action.
