Optimizing facilities to be more energy efficient saves money and can help corporations meet sustainability targets. Data centers are one area where significant energy saving improvements can often be made and the Green Data Centre Conference and Exhibition offers data center managers and engineers an opportunity to lean about the latest innovations in the rapidly changing sector.

The event provides an intimate setting within which to network and share ideas with roughly 100 peers, experts and thought leaders. Here are a few of the topics that will be discussed:

• Determine best practices necessary for the continued success of your data centre operations and management - including metrics, measurement and metering insights and evaluations
• Examine the financial complexities of the data centre including budgeting, financing and real estate considerations
• Discuss the risk vs. rewards and determine the realities vs. the hype of cloud computing and how it affects the data centre
