[1 CPE] The Decarbonization of the Data Center

  Presented by Ian Clatworthy, Global Director, Infrastructure Product Marketing • Hitachi Vantara

Balancing the need for substantial data infrastructure with more eco-friendly policies should be top of all organizational to-do lists. Rather than a competition between corporations, these initiatives should be focused on the larger benefit of a healthier world. That’s why creating a specific data center decarbonization strategy will be key. This will range from improving the visibility and measurement of power usage, to actually reducing the carbon footprint of each operational layer. But where should organizations begin?

Ian comes from a customer background in Formula 1 and World Rallying. Having a deep understanding of technology and its benefits he took his skills into technology sales and marketing with Dell and HDS. Today he leads Product Marketing for data infrastructure technologies at Hitachi Vantara.
