UK Organizations Focus On IT Infrastructure In The Drive To Go Green

IT professionals and line-of-business managers across a range of industries met at the UK Green IT 08 Conference & Exhibition in May to discuss the implications of operating in a business environment increasingly shaped by environmental concerns. Responses to Forrester's joint survey held in collaboration with Tech:Touchstone Events, organizer of the conference, identified the reduction of energy consumption as the primary driver for green IT initiatives, with the data center and desktop environment receiving the most focused attention. As IT infrastructure and operations professionals, you should be prepared for these top-down mandates, since successful green IT execution — from data centers to desktops and beyond — will rest primarily on your shoulders.
