Fall 2009 7x24 Exchange Conference
November 15-18, 2009
JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort
- Grand Canyon Foyer, Phoenix, AZ
 
What is 7x24 Exchange?
The leading knowledge exchange for those who design, build, use and maintain mission-critical enterprise information infrastructures, 7x24 Exchange is a not-for-profit organization seeking to improve end-to-end reliability by promoting dialogue among these groups.
 
End-to-End Reliability - The Changing Landscape of Data Centers
 
This conference is designed for anyone involved with 7x24 infrastructures – IS, data center, disaster recovery and network/telecommunication managers; computer technologists; facility or building managers, supervisors and engineers. Attendees and their organizations benefit because proactive plans and cooperation from diverse functions are needed to improve reliability. By promoting a dialogue and clarifying the synergies among functions, past conferences have enabled teams of attendees from a given organization to better communicate the critical importance of a proactive approach to continuous uptime. Team members are also able to cover breakout sessions and network with other professionals in similar companies/industries with like problems.
 
All program elements aim to increase the reliability and availability of an enterprise’s information infrastructure by presenting case studies, new ideas, techniques and tools. Open dialogue between attendees and presenters is encouraged throughout.

Conference Program Highlights Challenges in 2009
 
From the economic and regulatory environment, to the technical challenges, what are the factors that will define 2009? Our most extensive schedule to date brings together the nations' data center thought leaders to explore all the pressing topics of discussion in the IT and Facilities arena, which will include: 
  • Crucial updates from the US Environmental Protection Agency, The US Department of Energy, ASHRAEs TC9.9 and The Green Grid focusing on new regulations, codes, standards, metrics and accreditation.
  • The outlook for energy stewardship, corporate carbon risk, and how to maximize performance per watt in your data center whilst balancing the requirements for availability and agility.
  • Case studies and technical overviews on the latest data center design and construction techniques that include adaptive thermal management, modular building platforms, and new power architectures.
  • The latest information on Data center Automation and how to build command and control toolsets that optimize your IT and Facility infrastructure end-to-end and enable the move to real-time infrastructure.
  • New perspectives on how cloud computing, virtualization, service orientated architecture and other new computing platforms will impact facility design and operation and drive charge-back models.

Green Building Power Forum
January 25-27, 2010
Doubletree Hotel Santa Ana/Orange County Airport
Santa Ana, CA
 
The Second Annual Green Building Power Forum will consider all aspects of building power including high voltage and low voltage DC distribution, hybrid AC and DC distribution architectures and DC microgrids. The use of DC distribution can reduce facility construction and operating costs, improve flexibility and enhance sustainability.

This focused three day international conference will serve an audience of decision makers who are interested in learning about and contributing to the latest practical advancements related to the use of DC power distribution in commercial, industrial, government and residential buildings; critical facilities such as data centers; and the creation of a dynamic power infrastructure.

GE Digital Energy will be presenting the following paper on Wednesday, January 27:
Session 7.1: "Energy Efficient UPS Design Criteria for Data Centers"
Large data centers primarily use double conversion UPS to protect the critical loads. This double conversion technology consumes 5 percent to 10 percent of the power provided to the data center loads. The increase in energy losses are converted to heat that requires additional energy for cooling, resulting in an increase in facility electricity costs. This presentation will provide attendees with recommendations on design, application and operating techniques to optimize the energy efficiency of double conversion UPS in large data centers and other mission critical facilities.

Uptime Institute Symposium 2010
May 17-19, 2010
Data Center Efficiency & Green Enterprise IT
New York

Double conversion UPS is required for data centers, but operating continuously in double conversion mode is not required. The utility Smart Grids in developed countries are clean and reliable enough 99% of the time. The double conversion UPS does not need to continuously condition utility power that is already "clean".
Eliminating unnecessary power conditioning improves UPS efficiency to 99%. When utility power is not clean, the UPS returns to double conversion operating mode maintaining reliable power to the data center. GE will analyze utility reliability, UPS performance and data center power quality for UPS high efficiency operating mode.
