In addition to Ruiz, Hurd and Ballmer, the online event will also include segments featuring Mark Potter, vice president of the BladeSystem Division at HP, who will discuss how to keep enterprises competitive by optimizing datacenter performance, scalability, power and cooling. Also, Marty Seyer, senior vice president and general manager for Commercial and Performance Computing at AMD, will discuss why the time is now for the industry to start working towards a standard metric for datacenter power and cooling.

“With the rising costs of oil, the issue of energy efficiency has never been more important and AMD is leading the way toward efficient energy usage at the platform level,” said Seyer. “This is why AMD is driving global awareness initiatives to bring greater accountability to datacenter power consumption. As part of our efforts to help reduce power consumption, AMD is working with some of the top datacenter innovators and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), to drive the industry to a single power metric that addresses the balance of both efficiency and performance in today’s datacenter.”
