In today’s world the growing demand for knowledge has made cloud computing a center of attraction. Cloud computing is providing utility based services to all the users worldwide. It enables presentation of applications from consumers, scientific and business domains. However, data centers created for cloud computing applications consume huge amounts of energy, contributing to high operational costs and a large amount of carbon dioxide emission to the environment. With enhancement of data center, the power consumption is increasing at such a rate that it has become a key concern these days because it is ultimately leading to energy shortcomings and global climatic change. Therefore, we need green cloud computing solutions that can not only save energy, but also reduce operational costs.
GreenBiz 17 Workshop Slides: "Green and Sustainability Bonds: How Green Are T...GreenBiz Group
Green bonds use debt to fund environmental and climate change projects and can be issued by cities, NGOs and corporations. Sustainability bonds may fund both environmental and social projects – a hybrid of a green bond and a social bond. This exciting market is growing exponentially — a record $41.8 billion worth of green bonds were issued in 2015, and with significant growth continuing in 2016. Please join us for an engaging discussion with our panel of experts on how these bonds work and their applicability for companies.
DataCyte - The Future of Data Storage & RetrievalDaniel Opland
The vision for the creation of DataCyte was to create a data storage and retrieval structure which would enable the development of applications in an organic manner and where the performance of the applications would be largely independent of the amount of data and the relationships built between the data elements.

It demonstrates the potential bottom line impact of telework for the California state and local government workforce (over $4 Billion a year). The all day program was organized by Secure Computing Environments.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

In the Adani-Hindenburg case, what is SEBI investigating.pptxAdani case
Adani SEBI investigation revealed that the latter had sought information from five foreign jurisdictions concerning the holdings of the firm’s foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) in relation to the alleged violations of the MPS Regulations. Nevertheless, the economic interest of the twelve FPIs based in tax haven jurisdictions still needs to be determined. The Adani Group firms classed these FPIs as public shareholders. According to Hindenburg, FPIs were used to get around regulatory standards.

Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE):
PUE = Total Facility Power ÷ IT Equipment Power
and its reciprocal, the DCiE is defined as:
DCiE = 1÷ Text here = (IT Equipment Power ÷ Total Facility
