Overview
Climate disaster is looming, and the day of reckoning is here. Businesses can no longer afford to ignore their part in the changing climate. Environmental sustainability is now a top strategic priority for IT teams, and for good reason. Greener computing practices are not only good for the planet but can also be a driver of cost-efficiency and innovation. The leading cloud providers have all pledged to decarbonize their data centers and use renewable energy, but how can organizations and individual contributors take part and hold them accountable? What are the impacts of your cloud use? And how can your organization be more efficient?
Join leading experts for a half-day of sessions that will answer these tough questions and set you on the path to greener cloud computing. The need for greener practices (like smart infrastructure) is urgent; this Superstream event will help you start implementing them.
