If you can make it to Boston, come visit on March 3 for a program aimed at increasing your data center’s energy efficiency – and learn more about data visualization tools and business intelligence applications that support your effort. The Massachusetts Energy Efficiency Partnership is hosting a full-day session March 3 focusing on data center energy reduction/savings. Details and sign-up are here.

So, governmental agencies and utility companies are promoting use of energy efficient datacom equipment and best practices.
