About the Course

With the increasing demand for cloud services, the data centers continue to grow in size and number, and hence their collective energy footprint. The high‐energy consumption of data centers is a problem from several perspectives including architectural limitations, heat removal challenges, and cost of electricity. The changing nature of data centers‚ and the technology that impacts them‚ makes it even more critical that IT professionals, engineers, designers and networking professional remain up to date on the current theories and best practices for issues around topics of power‚ cooling‚ efficiency, management‚ and design of data centers and the underlying enabling hardware and software technologies.

This unique course will provide up to date information and present the energy management in real, virtualized and leased environments. The course will provide a comprehensive discussion of the following research topics: architecture of and energy use in data modern centers, silicon technology trends and energy related challenges, power and energy management at different levels and temporal granularities including hardware, software, and entire data center, power management in virtualized, leased and multi-tenant environments, need for energy adaptation and coordination, multilevel power management, data center network fabrics and their power management, storage and storage network power management and emerging challenges in data center hardware, software, and infrastructure design.
