TNC2010 in Vilnius - Thursday 3/6-2010 | Pictures from the other days |
The morning session was led by Serge Droz from SWITCH, and covered various
aspects of green IT.
Patrick Grossetete from Arch Rock Corporation in France is an expert in wireless
sensor networks, which is the ideal technology for monitoring all sorts of
things in your datacenter
Alain Bidaud from CRIHAN in France which is one of the supporting organizations of Renater. His talk covered
a lot of practical aspects about establishing measurements of power consumption and
other things that are important in optimizing a data center.
Results of a task in GEANT on the environmental impact of the GEANT network were
presented by ...
... my very own colleague from UNI-C,
Jřrgen Moth.
Briefly, the conclusion was that the carbon footprint of the GEANT backbone network
is equivalant to that of just 200 citizens, whereas the carbon emissions
saved by using the network by far superseeded the negative effects.
The last speaker in the session was again a UNI-C colleague, our technical director
Ole Kjćrgaard,
who told about a number of practical aspects of energy optimization in a datacentre.
My dream of a dashboard.
The discussions continued long after the talk, and ...
...even long into the break.

The closing session is also the moment to make status and statistics
and thank the local organizers who has done such a good job
and thank all the staff. They deserve it!

A brief commercial by Jón Ingi Einarsson from RHnet

You know - they never have a dull moment in Iceland.
And faithful to the tradition, we also had a commercial for next year's conference,
which is in Prague,
CESNet had even made a nice film about the whole thing.
Time to say goodbye to new and old freinds,
