This talk will outline the storage-specific topics related to energy-efficiency, including metrics for measuring, managing and designing for power. We will overview ongoing efforts in the SNIA Green Storage TWG and in partnership with the EPA ENERGY STAR® program, The Green Grid, the DMTF and other industry groups.

Learning Objectives

• Understand the storage-specific aspects of "green"(specifically energy and power) for storage components and storage systems.
• Outline considerations in how to measure and model storage energy and power in storage systems.
• Outline SNIA and other industry efforts toward energy-efficient computing and data center, including EPA ENERGY STAR®.

A bunch of green technologies and processes have emerged in the last several years. The green meme has raced up the hype curve in record time. The EPA is doing an "ENERGY STAR Storage Spec". What to make of it all? This tutorial takes a dollar-and-cents view of the various technology and process areas, helping you prioritize your acquisition planning and attention. We cover green storage technologies, the importance of efficient facilities, and recent developments in ENERGY STAR regulation of the storage sector.

Learning Objectives

• Learn where the biggest bang for your buck is, in the green storage space.
• Learn which green technologies are worth your time, and which are not.
• Learn about progress on an ENERGY STAR storage spec, and how it is likely to affect you.
