The document discusses how cloud computing can help reduce the carbon footprint of UK higher education institutions. It notes that higher education currently has over 1.4 million computers, 246,000 printers, and 238,000 servers that together emit 500,000 tons of carbon dioxide annually. Cloud computing allows for improved server utilization and consolidation of resources across institutions, which can significantly reduce energy use and carbon emissions compared to maintaining individual on-premise data centers and systems. The document argues that cloud computing provides opportunities for more efficient management of IT infrastructure and delivery of applications and services in a sustainable way.

What is Green IT? – Green IT is the practice of environmentally sustainable computing. It consists of a set of measures that ensure IT is delivered and used in a sustainable, energy efficient, environmentally friendly way resulting in a reduced carbon footprint.
Why is it so important? – With rapidly expanding usage of IT, the industry has a responsibility to source sustainably to ensure that growth can continue and to enable a low carbon economy. As well as that, businesses can benefit financially by adopting green IT initiatives.
Clouds are not Linear: Unlock the full power of IT infrastructure with circul...Submer Immersion Cooling
Hello everybody and welcome to our new SlideShare post!
The slides you are seeing are taken from our 16th webinar: Clouds are not Linear: Unlock the full power of IT infrastructure with circular economic models (you can find the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ie7HFxuqyU&feature=youtu.be).
Technology drives humanity forward, solving problems and creating opportunity. But it also creates environmental and societal challenges that can’t be ignored. Tech innovation is driving rapid evolution, yet with each new generation, we generate massive streams of e-waste. More people are connected to more things with more devices than ever before, even so, half the world’s population still isn’t online. Open, hyperscale technology has enabled a handful of massive cloud service providers to achieve outsized returns, however, that same benefit has not trickled down. While these issues are daunting, circular economic models are poised to deliver major advances that offer real, immediate solutions. Let’s bring the dark underbelly issues of the tech industry into the light and take the opportunity at hand to come together to drive meaningful change that benefits all stakeholders.
Submer was pleased to welcome Ali Fenn, President of ITRenew. Together with Ali, we talked about different topics such as sustainability, the impact of tech and datacenter industry on the environment and the benefits of adopting circular economy models.:

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.
