Topic: Five Power Trends on the Way to Your Data Center

The forces shaping data center change are clear: 96 percent of data centers will run out of capacity by 2011, data center energy use is at an all-time high and so is availability demands. This presentation will share the top five power protection, distribution and management trends surrounding those issues and share benchmarks from some of the largest, most critical networks in the world. You'll learn the latest thinking on power system energy efficiency, an emerging approach to high-density power distribution, and new ways to grow your power protection capacity without sacrificing availability. You'll also learn whether an alternate high availability power configuration is right for your business needs.

Greatest benefit of AITP membership

I think the best benefit of the AITP membership, is the access to so many great professionals in the IT industry who are willing to share advice and experiences.

Biggest IT Challenge

To learn how to pass on the RFMS IT systems knowledge to workers that do not have strong English skills. It has forced me to develop new styles of training.

People would be surprised to learn that

I am currently working two jobs. I am also working with a startup Information Security firm here in Charleston.

Life goal not yet accomplished

I would like to become fully independent and start my own successful company one day.
