In response to energy costs, environmental concerns, and government directives, there is an increased need for sustainable and "green" agency IT operations. Methods to measure power consumption and control energy output are now the focus of businesses and government agencies worldwide, with everyone looking for a method to reduce energy costs and implement increased efficient operation. The IP network can significantly enhance environmental sustainability in government and education. Progress toward this goal has been hampered by murky definitions and confusion about priorities. Is the main goal of environmental sustainability in the public sector to reduce energy consumption in the data center? Recycle? Reduce carbon emissions?

Join this webcast and hear how the Networked Sustainability Framework can help you define and meet goals such as:

• Energy savings through power management, tracking and reporting and infrastructure consolidation
• Achieve operational efficiencies with extended product lifecycles and simplified architectures
• Foster innovative business processes with virtual workers, remote collaboration and virtualization
