Description:

The green data center can yield significant costs savings and IT efficiencies. As a reference point, Sprint's green data center initiative generated $28 million of redeployable assets and reduced $20 million reduction in operating costs. While the data center is ripe with low-hanging fruit, IT professionals should understand the full scope of the green data center and its motivations to determine their entry point, prioritize projects, and maximize return.

This teleconference features a moderated Q&A discussion with Josh Morton, vice president of Sprint's IT infrastructure and operations group, to discuss Sprint's approach to the green data center and the value it yields.

• Defining the green data center and its vast scope
• Mapping elements of the green data center to business value
