Monitoring Operations for Energy Efficiency

With data centers under increasing pressure to improve their energy efficiency, many operators are turning to monitoring software to find out where improvements can be made in the white space and gray space. But what advancements really come from the operation of data centers, and should more emphasis be going onto the design of data centers? Join this panel discussion for an in-depth discussion and debate on how data centers are improving their operations to help meet their sustainability goals, and reduce OpEx spending. What are the opportunities that can arise as a result of monitoring infrastructure ops? And with the energy supply issues and increasingly stringent sustainability regulation, should the response come from data center design or operations?
