There are people who talk about Green IT, Sustainable IT, etc.. and there are people who DO it. Joyce Dickerson is the one who DOES green - green IT, green facilities, sustainbale environments.
She is the one who takes all the tools and gadgets and measures before and after electricity consumptions, puts together sophisticated data analysis spreadsheets and educates people on what works, what doesn’t.
Here is a quote from Michele [to Joyce], who attended this meetup:
“… Your talk was great yesterday. I love your hands on approach - going around with your meter and actually measuring! I think there’s an organizational development business case to be written just about how you are trying to implement across the various parts of Stanford and how their area of study informs their decisions. I learned a lot - thank you. “
I am posting powerpoint slides now and will be adding video recording and photos later.
And here is the video:
We invited Mark Kadrich back to give us updates on a very detailed research his company did on a subject of security in cloud computing environment.
Here is an overview of the upcoming meetup:
This talk will build upon the research that TSC has been doing regarding cloud computing and the issues that still plague users and vendors. Most people think of clouds and they think white, pure and fluffy. TSC has discovered that when you talk about cloud computing it’s neither white or pure but many claims are quite puffy. TSC has been following cloud services and related technology for quite a while and Mark Kadrich will be discussing why you should be interested, and what you should be interested in if you are considering using or deploying cloud based services either personally or in your enterprise.
