Green IT Week - NAB, Life as a Carbon Neutral Corporate video

Rising electricity prices in South Africa are fast becoming the major driver of the uptake of energy-efficient technology in the residential sector. Households are becoming cognizant of the importance of managing their electricity utilisation. This briefing will investigate technologies that can be utilised in South African households to improve energy efficiency and reduce electricity consumption.

Join us to gain insight into:
· The current state of energy efficiency in South African households
· International best practice analysis of select countries
· Energy-efficient technologies that can be adopted into South African households
· Expected future developments of energy-efficient technology for households

All data centres are looking at strategic transformation, usually, and sensibly, based on how to get more 'bangs per buck' in a volatile business climate. However, there is a growing view that, as an industry, we are in danger of digging our own grave when it comes to energy efficiency. Governments may look at registration for all participants and then for a common reporting metric. The big question is "which ones to use?" It is likely that every data centre will be under a great deal more scrutinity than is the case at the moment.

A co-ordinated approach to transformation is needed, but this is not easy in practice; some businesses see data centres in a strange way, governments are often, in effect, clueless and the proliferation of trade bodies only seems to muddy the water.

This webinar explores how the practical application of frameworks, metrics and accreditations might be used to avoid common pitfalls when implementing a Data Centre transition.

Given the increasing smartphone adoption and demand for data-intensive applications, mobile operators must upgrade their network infrastructure to accommodate high-speed data services. This briefing will investigate the changing technology landscape in Europe and will specifically focus on how telecommunication network in Western, Central and Eastern Europe are adopting Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology, the infrastructure it requires and how this is influencing demand for batteries. In particular, the briefing will focus on which are the well established and mature battery technologies and which are the upcoming ones for telecom applications.

Why You Should Attend:

- Understand the influence of LTE Technology on power demand
- Identify the opportunities and growth potential in Europe and specifically CEE region for telecom batteries
- Hear the contribution of recent battery chemistries in a lead acid battery dominated industry

s the reality of virtual and cloud environments comes to life and the need for highly reliable infrastructure increases, many IT professionals are re-thinking server choices. Platforms with greater levels of scalability and reliability are essential, as is the ability to more effectively meet the demands of “Big Data” and the new class of Enterprise applications.

One of the most common IT buzzwords is “Big Data.” The question is, what are the business benefits and value to your organization. This video shows how HP brings the benefits of Big Data to life and to the benefit of your organization.

The competitive nature of today’s business is extreme. And one of the most important demands on the business is the ability to move fast. In many cases, the ability to change is driven by the speed at which you can understand key information. Many times underpowered or obsolete systems make this time-consuming or impossible. Fast IT Infrastructure is critical

Moving to Linux provides critical benefits to IT, including increasing the number of options for tools and administration and introducing new capabilities. Get the details from this video
