Cutting across various IT data technology domains, this book discusses the interdependencies that need to be supported to enable a virtualized, energy-efficient, economical, and environmentally friendly data center. Part I looks at IT data center economic and environmental issues, and defines what constitutes a green data center. Part II examines elements of virtual data centers, including infrastructure resource management and measurements. Part III reviews various technologies for enabling a green and virtual data center, and Part IV outlines steps for putting together a green and virtual data center. Checklists and a glossary are included. The book has been written with several audiences in mind, including IT analysts, administrators, and architecture. With its clear writing style, other audiences for the book includes manufacturers and sales, marketing, support, and engineering organizations, as well as public relations, investors, and media professionals associated with IT technologies and services. Schulz is founder of a technology industry consultancy focusing on data infrastructure. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

The Green and Virtual Data Center sets aside the political aspects of what is or is not considered green to instead focus on the opportunities for organizations that want to sustain environmentally-friendly economical growth. If you are willing to believe that IT infrastructure resources deployed in a highly virtualized manner can be combined with other technologies to achieve simplified and cost-effective delivery of services in a green, profitable manner, this book is for you.

Savvy industry veteran Greg Schulz provides real-world insight, addressing best practices, server, software, storage, networking, and facilities issues concerning any current or next-generation virtual data center that relies on underlying physical infrastructures. Coverage includes:

  • Energy and data footprint reduction
  • Cloud-based storage and computing
  • Intelligent and adaptive power management
  • Server, storage, and networking virtualization
  • Tiered servers and storage, network, and data centers
  • Energy avoidance and energy efficiency
  • Many current and emerging technologies can enable a green and efficient virtual data center to support and sustain business growth with a reasonable return on investment. This book presents virtually all critical IT technologies and techniques to discuss the interdependencies that need to be supported to enable a dynamic, energy-efficient, economical, and environmentally-friendly green IT data center. This is a path that every organization must ultimately follow.

Intel’s Recommended Reading program provides technical professionals a simple and handy reference list of what to read to stay abreast of new technologies. Dozens of industry technologists, corporate fellows, and engineers have helped by suggesting books and reviewing the list. This is the most comprehensive reading list available for professional computer developers.

    Arvustused

    The book reviews the latest developments in facilities, server, storage, networking, and monitoring technologies and provides a roadmap of how each can be used to create next-generation data centers that combine efficiency with scalability ... Schulz's book provides an excellent primer for those wanting to understand how to create data centers for this new paradigm. -Kurt Marko, in Processor, March 2009, Vol. 31, No. 11 What I like about Schulz's approach is that he doesn't really pass judgment on whether or not you should re-adjust your IT initiatives around some greener-good agenda. He's focused more so on illustrating how some of the technologies you're already considering for the good of your business - virtualization, blade platforms, cloud computing power management - might otherwise be pretty cool for the environment, too. -Heather Clancy, Green Tech Pastures, in ZDNet, February 26, 2009 Greg Schulz has presented a concise and visionary perspective on the Green issues. He has cut through the hype and highlighted where to start and what the options are. A great place to start your green journey and a useful handbook to have as the journey continues. -Greg Brunton, EDS/An HP Company I must admit that I have been slightly skeptical at times, when it comes to what the true value is behind all of the discussions on 'green' technologies in the data center. As someone who has seen both the end user and vendor side of things, I think my skepticism gets heightened more than it normally would be. This book really helped dispel my skepticism. ...extremely well organized and easy to follow. Each chapter has a very good introduction and comprehensive summary. This book could easily serve as a blueprint for organizations to follow when they look for ideas on how to design new data centers. It's a great addition to an IT Bookshelf. -Dr. Steve Guendert, Global Solutions Architect, Brocade Communications
