Regardless of whether a computer's desktop is run from a local PC or far-flung server in a co-location facility, the power that's required to boot and maintain that operating system has to come from somewhere. And it has to be protected.

As the number and variety of software- and platform-as-a-service vendors increases, so too does the use and increasing dependency people will have on them. What impact will these factors have on power consumption and management?

Join us for this one-hour ChannelCast and follow the trend of rising server density, data center consolidation and curiosity for all things cloud. Understand how cloud computing has brought about a renewed focus on the need for power management and efficiency.

After this ChannelCast you’ll understand:

  • How to manage the increases in power consumption
  • Relevance of power consumption to increases in cloud computing
  • Centralized power vs. individual power protection
Join Eddie Correia, Technical Editor of Everything Channel, and Jeff Ames, Senior Business Unit Manager, Distributed Power Solutions Division, Eaton Corporation, for this live ChannelCast Tuesday, April 26, 2011 at 11:00 am Pacific/2:00 pm Eastern. Attend live and ask your questions in real time!
