Call it the dirty little secret of the digital age. When it comes to energy waste, data centers are among the world's biggest offenders. Most physical servers run at only about 10 to 15 percent utilization, yet can consume almost as much energy as at peak usage. Every watt of data center electricity consumption requires an additional watt just for cooling. And right now, the unutilized servers in the United States alone emit more carbon dioxide each year than the entire country of Thailand.

Agenda * Identify and measure the true offenders * Mr. Green, Rob Aldrich, "Whiteboarding the Innovation" * Special guest EMC illustrates the greener side of storage * VMware serves up new efficiency gains from your servers
