Roundup: The Uptime Institute Symposium

• Ken Oestreich from Cassatt has recaps of each of the conference’s three days, including a review of Wednesday’s presentations from the EPA on Energy Star initiatives ^[1]for the data center, as well as the DOE’s DC-Pro tool. Ken also has summaries of Day One ^[2] and Day Two ^[3] of the event.
• Deborah Grove also writes about the EPA programs, including its initiative to gather energy efficiency information ^[4] from data center operators. Deborah also blogs about a breakfast for women ^[5]participating in the symposium on day two, and Ken Brill’s keynote ^[6].

• Ted Samson from Sustainable IT at InfoWorld blogs about six lessons learned ^[7] at the symposium. “The real challenge, one shared by the 400-plus attendees at the symposium, remains figuring out how to get from inefficient Point A to efficient Point Green,” Ted writes.
• Dave Ohara from the Green Data Center Blog has recaps of the keynotes from Ken Brill ^[8]and Microsoft’s Mike Manos ^[9], as well as a fun item about a momentary detente in the container wars ^[10], as Sun’s Mark Monroe tours the Rackable ICE Cube.
