ABSTRACT
Data Centers today are everywhere. Its becoming increasingly difficult to imagine any service or interaction today; that does not involve Information Technology. The IT landscape is fast evolving, introducing new technologies, architectures and consumption models. Traditionally, critical infrastructure like Data centers have not been looked at from an agility and innovation perspective. Tools like the internet-of-things, BIG Data & analytics hold a lot of promise in evolving the infrastructure design and operation and making it "smart".
Our infrastructures today are smarter, machine to machine communication is becoming common place. The resulting BIG Data is creating opportunities for leveraging the analytics to help support the IT environments in becoming more nimble, agile, and efficient.
The Energy consumed by IT is only half the story, there exists an equally large opportunity to reduce energy consumption in the infrastructure space. The presentation will discuss some of the trends in technology and architecture that are helping the industry capture the elusive Negawatt in the Data Center infrastructure.
