Steve Taylor
Chief Technology Officer
Plan B Government Systems, Inc.
Government – the largest energy consumer in the country, spending $293 million annually just to power its PCs – is more motivated than ever to find solutions that reduce energy use, shrink each agency’s carbon footprint and bring skyrocketing energy bills under control. Virtualization solutions available today enable a greener, lower-wattage IT function across all levels of government – without the need to rip out the IT infrastructure and start from scratch. From thin clients to telework to virtual servers in the datacenter, virtualization technologies can slash energy costs, improve efficiency and help government move to the cloud. The individual government employee can also make a difference by becoming a more responsible energy consumer at work and at home.
Learning objectives:
1. How virtualization helps cut energy consumption – thus reducing energy costs – in the government datacenter.
2. How to implement virtualization solutions to enable telework, thin clients and datacenter consolidation – key government initiatives with the potential to further reduce government’s energy use.
