The 2009 Path Forward Introductory Essay

Welcome to Green IT 2.0 – Yes, we have reached an inflection point of a new business imperative and a new marketplace of ideas and innovations founded in the business imperative for increasing enterprise computing’s and the data center’s energy efficiency. The hockey-stick growth in interest and in delegates at this year’s Green Enterprise IT Symposium in April is testimony to that. But we’re still at the very beginnings of new and big challenges. This essay by Ken Brill and Bruce Taylor with John Stanley sets the tone for understanding where we really are on this journey for the energy, economic, and environmental sustainability of enterprise IT and the data center. And the promise of the “green” data center.
