Green Strategies For IT Infrastructures To Save Energy
Carol Stream IL (SPX) Feb 17, 2009 Communications Supply Corporation (CSC) and WESCO Distribution has announced that they will be hosting their first Green and Sustainability Summit in Chicago on Thursday, March 5, at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare, in Rosemont, IL. There are ten such events scheduled over the course of the year around the country. The next scheduled event is to be held in Phoenix in April, with more details to follow. This unique one day event brings WESCO and CSC's management teams together with senior-level IT, operations and facilities professionals from large organizations to provide a state-of-the-art understanding about the Green and Sustainability movement in the United States. Attendees will be presented with information to assist in the planning and construction of a green roadmap that addresses all aspects of a 21st Century Digital Building. The Summit will feature high-profile keynote speakers, including Andy Karsner, the Former Assistant US Secretary of The Department of Energy and executive members from the United States Green Building Council (USGBC). The event will also cover best-practice recommendations surrounding data center power, cooling and bandwidth efficiencies, green lighting solutions, and various funding opportunities through grants, tax credits and other sources. Additionally, a thirty-company tradeshow will be held featuring the nation's leading manufacturers who share the same green and sustainability vision as CSC and WESCO. "Our aim is to offer customers who are interested in implementing a green strategy the resources, tools, and product solutions that focus on data centers and lighting technologies", says Frank LaPlante, CSC's Vice President of Marketing. "The data center environment alone accounts for 3 - 4% of the nation's energy consumption. We can demonstrate ways to take costs out of our customers' businesses, identify funding sources, and leverage utility rebate opportunities. We are very pleased with the enthusiasm this event is generating as WESCO and CSC provide a comprehensive green solutions package."
