<p style="color: #666;">John Charles is the CIO of California State University, East Bay (CSUEB) and Rich Avila is Director, Server & Network Operations. In late 2007 they were both looking down the barrel of a gun. The total amount of power being used in the data center was 67KVA. The maximum power from the current plant was 75kVA. PG&E had informed them that no more power could be delivered. They would be out of power in less than six months. A new data center was planned, but would not be available for two years. </p>

<p style="color: #666;">A main impediment to storage virtualization is the lack of multiple storage vendor (heterogeneous) support within available virtualization technologies. This inhibits deployment across a data center.  The only practical approach is either to implement a single vendor solution across the whole of the data center (practical only for small and some medium size data centers) or to implement virtualization in one or more  of the largest storage pools within a data center.

Leveraging Security Risk Intelligence The Strategic Value of Measuring Real Risk

In its 2012 Data Breach Investigations Report, Verizon studied 855 data compromise incidents that occurred in 2011. Out of the 855 incidents, 81% leveraged hacking, 69% included malware, and an impressive 61% of all breaches featured a combination of hacking techniques and malware. Find the full Verizon report here http://www.verizonbusiness.com/resources/reports/rp_data-breach-investigations-report-2012_en_xg.pdf. Every IT security professional knows that the battle to protect IT resources and data is fully engaged. But just how aware is your company of these potential attacks? Your vulnerability management strategy begins with a comprehensive measurement of security risk. This is just the first step in protecting your assests. Check out the "Strategic Value of Measuring Real Risk" white paper to see what your company should really be concerned about: http://information.rapid7.com/Whitepapers_NNCSecurityRiskIntelligence.html?LS=1011112

This is focused largely on reducing energy use both to decrease the corporation's carbon footprint while creating a net savings in operational costs over the lifetime of new, more energy-efficient equipment, including new storage systems.

Planning a Green Storage Initiative

Fluctuating energy prices have heightened electricity and energy consumption as a major issue within the technology community. IT is a significant consumer of energy and IT energy costs have been rising disproportionately because of continued investment in denser IT equipment. Estimates from the EPA and others indicate that IT will account for 3% of energy consumption by 2012.
