Audio: Four industry experts discuss the green datacenter

TAGS: Sustainable IT, Virtualization

At InfoWorld's Virtualization Executive Forum in New York last September, I had the pleasure of leading a panel discussion about the green datacenter with four industry experts. Although I lacked equipment to record the event, Microsoft's Lewis Curtis came prepared. He's graciously made the audio file available on his blog.

Be forewarned: It's 45 minutes long, but the participants dispensed plenty of keen observations and useful nuggets of information.

The participants included: Robert Aldrich, senior manager of datacenter solutions at Cisco; the aforementioned Curtis, Microsoft's strategic infrastructure architecture advisor and environmental evangelist; Kevin Leahy, director of IT optimization business and unit and virtualization offerings at IBM; and Jim Smith, vice president of engineering at Digital Realty Trust.

On a related note, InfoWorld's next Virtualization Executive Forum takes place on Feb. 4, 2008 in San Francisco. In addition to sessions covering various aspects of virtualization implementation, there will be a presentation on the green datacenter. Details to come.
