Sustainable IT Operations in Times of Climate Change

 

Climate change is the number-one concern for many, with enterprises having regulatory obligations to report annually on their sustainability initiatives and targets. The rise in energy consumption due, in part, to the exponential increase in data, compute-intensive applications, the Internet of Things (IoT), and multicloud expansion is an environmental side effect of the digital transformation. Organizations need to balance innovation not only with cost, but also need to consider sustainability. But how can IT operations management help to achieve your environmental goals? Which sustainability initiatives are most important to you? Hear from Stefan Brié, IT Management Solution Consultant at OpenText, on how to reduce your carbon footprint driven by ICTs.

What are the opportunities and challenges associated with building and maintaining digital infrastructure and subsea cables in the Arctic Circle and across the Nordics? What are the broader implications for security, economic development, environmental sustainability, international collaboration, and geopolitics that submarine cables and other critical infrastructure pose for the region and beyond? And how will Finland's NATO accession impact subsea cabling, digital infrastructure, and security – both physical and cyber – going forward?

The CLOUD is Not in the Sky

 

Data centers are now as crucial to all infrastructure as roads, railways, and airports. And with the ongoing green and digital transformation, the need for data centers will continue to increase. Yet, the sustainability of IT infrastructure itself is just as important as the benefits that technology can have on our day-to-day lives. This presentation will connect the technologies we are all using and relying on – both in our daily lives and at work – with the physical IT and energy infrastructure that underpins those technologies. The session will also offer perspective and insight into how data center and digital infrastructure professionals can introduce and explain the sector to the public and attract talent, as it is a growing industry with many opportunities that requires diverse expertise, all while offering a rewarding purpose: building a sustainable digital backbone for the world.
