Abstract
Hardware efficiencies are essential to reducing the amount of power used by storage. Equally real savings are obtained by reducing the number of copies of your data that must be made, kept and managed. This talk presents a number of technologies, ranging from thin provisioning and virtualization to flywheel UPSs, that each address part of the problem, and illustrates the impact that each technology can have on your data center footprint.
Learning Objectives
