1. Sustainability — An Opportunity For The Pharma Industry

   Explore Article Life Science Leader (Feb 24 2010) Carbon Footprint , Grid Computing

   It’s fair to say that the pharmaceutical industry has an image issue, generally ranking just above the tobacco industry in public opinion surveys. One recent Harris Interactive poll reported that only 26% of Americans view pharma favorably. Even worse, 52% of respondents expressed a negative opinion of the drug industry. And this for an industry that enhances health and extends life! Low public esteem may stem from a perception of excessively high prices for life-saving medications or negative media coverage and inflammatory political oratory. At the same time, drug-safety scares and product recalls have undermined the public’s faith in drug ...

   As a disaster recovery specialist, Sungard Availability Services has an armada of workstations in its facilities for that “what if” moment, ready to provide an instant operations center in the event a disaster affects a client. But what about the rest of the time? The company has decided to put these computers to work through a new initiative called the Responsible Computing Project.

   Can a little software go a long way to trimming power consumption?  Packing more customers per server and rack is both cost effective and power efficient, but there are other tricks that larger firms are looking at to cut back on buying hardware and more bandwidth.

5. Beyond Going Virtual by carol wilson

   Explore Article Views and Opinions on Green IT (Jun 9 2009) Cloud Computing , Grid Computing

   Last week, I talked about how today’s data centers can be located almost anywhere, through the power of virtualization. We are certainly seeing this trend play out in the news. Just this week, Apple ended weeks of speculation by announcing its plans to base a data center in North Carolina. That state, and many others, are competing for these projects, offering tax incentives and more, because of the jobs they bring to the region. While Apple is saying the new facility will mean about 50 jobs, North Carolina officials expect the Apple data center project to generate more than 3000 ...

By making more intelligent use of virtualization and smart networking, network operators and enterprises alike can not only save money but also reduce carbon emissions. The key is to consider the network as a ...
