"In order to drive more 'green IT' adoption, we as vendors must create a situation where saying 'yes' to environmentally-friendly solutions is an easy decision for customers in the Middle East. As companies face difficulties in managing the actual real estate space, power, and air conditioning demands generated by major data centers, it is becoming possible to build data centers that are both energy-efficient and responsive to regional business needs,"
said Stephane Rejasse, Managing Director for the Middle East, Fujitsu Siemens Computers.
During the full-day seminars, Fujitsu Siemens Computers customers including Adnoc Ford, Etisalat, and eHosting DataFort will provide their own insight on topics ranging from their transition to a more environmentally-sound computing system and how managed services can enable organizations to focus on their core business objectives.
"The daily and weekly power and air conditioning consumption of a regional bank or telecoms operator's data center can be greater than that of the monthly power demands for thousands of homes, according to our estimates. By using strategies such as virtualization or resource pooling plus automating more processes, our customers can make 'green' choices that help their businesses by reducing costs as well," added Rejasse.
Hosted in partnership with NetApp, the Green IT business events in the UAE will also demonstrate how companies in the Middle East are using technology as a utility similar to water or power through a managed service model. Together, NetApp and Fujitsu Siemens Computers are showcasing how government offices and organizations in other industry verticals can save money by automation of IT tasks, reducing the complexity of their systems, and simplifying their technology management.
