Cloud Modeling vs Internal vs Global Market using Burstorm PlatformScott Goessling
Designing using Cloud and Infrastructure services can be very challenging. It is a big and complex market that moves very fast and changes every day. Are you getting ahead of falling behind?
This presentation shows that Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) Software to a Data Center Manager is what ERP software is to a VP - Manufacturing. This is the 2nd presentation from a series of 3-part series from GreenField Software on the subject: DCIM for High Availability.
DCIM Software charts out the relationship maps for assets by identifying various dependencies among them. Threshold-based alerts on critical parameters, combined with impact analysis of Move-Add-Change, mitigates risks of DC failures.
GreenField Software’s Mission is to help Data Centers control capital expenditures reduce operating expenses and mitigate the risks of Data Center failures. Besides DCIM Software, GFS offers Data Center Advisory Services in the areas of best practices, capacity planning, energy efficiency and business continuity of data centers.
Strategies for Re-Using Data Center Heat Energy and Their Impact on PUE (Both...Upsite Technologies
Is it possible to recycle some data center energy to achieve a PUE less than 1.00? The simple answer is no. However, over the years, such claims have been made and are invariably followed by wise nods, knowing winks, and comments such as, "Well, somebody doesn't understand PUE basic math."
While striving for a PUE of less than 1.00 undoubtedly gets us into the realm of physics-defying fantasy, that does not however mean there is no value in recycling the heat energy produced by our ICT equipment. After all, we have already recognized the great value in actually increasing PUE by dramatically reducing the divisor of our PUE equation through virtualization, turning off comatose servers, migrating from Windows to Linux, etc.
The PUE rock showing above the water level may be bigger, but the sea level itself is lower (hence, the ongoing discussion for new and improved metrics). Such is the case with looking for ways to perform useful work with the thermal energy produced by ICT equipment. While we may not give ourselves a bragging-rights PUE decimal fraction, perhaps we can improve our organization's bottom line and contribute positively to the planet's health. This session will explore five strategies for re-using data center heat energy while discussing their impacts on PUE, the bottom line, and the environment.
Key takeaways:
- Learn about the different strategies that are available to re-use (recycle) heat energy produced by ICT equipment.
- Understand the relationship between recycling data center heat energy and resultant impacts on PUE.
- Learn about the benefits of recycling data center heat energy for your organization's bottom line and the environment.

Why predictive modeling is essential for managing a modern computing facilityJonathan Koomey
This talk, given at Data Center Dynamics on July 12, 2013, summarizes the importance of predictive modeling to capturing lost cooling and power capacity in the data center. It also describes some results from a recent case study Future Facilities did at an Equinix data center in the Bay area.
Real-time monitoring provides unprecedented visibility into power and cooling infrastructure. Through the technology, data center professionals can baseline energy use, diagnose inefficiencies, and take corrective actions to improve performance and cut costs.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. ULCC Costing Information – The Why
• Established 1968 as a ‘Super Computer’
Centre for HE one of three in the UK
• Continually re-invented ourselves over the
next 40 years
• In 2005 we had 2 large contracts and had
started looking after UoL IT needs
• And then………………
3. ULCC why we started to dig 2
• 40% of our revenue was insourced back to
JANET
• So were some of our costs (TUPE)
• Lack of useful data
• No up to date financial information
• No basis to make effective decisions
• At the time UoL had an old finance system

5. How
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
‘Sell’ the need for change
Collect data
Model activities with technical staff
