VoiceCon is proud to announce the VoiceCon Communications Energy Conservation Alliance program*mdash;for businesses that recognize that green initiatives not only benefit the environment, they also significantly reduce operating costs. It includes:
In-depth conference sessions focusing on ways for IT to reduce energy costs throughout the enterprise.
Sponsorship by the following companies, highlighting their efforts to help you use communications to improve enterprise energy conservation and management
The cost of power and cooling the data center and communications closets is escalating, and Gartner predicts that by 2009, power and cooling costs will be second to salaries in the IT budget. This tutorial looks at the practical ways the enterprise can reduce electrical power and cooling costs. It won't try to solve global climate change, but focuses instead on the energy conservation solutions now available and their impact on the enterprise bottom line. Methods for reducing the energy bill by controlling IT devices will be explored, and incentives from the government and power utilities will be presented. Quantitative information will be provided with additional resource websites for the attendee to learn how to calculate the energy cost reduction and cooling requirements. The session provides recommendations on how the lower the costs to support VoIP/IPT servers, PoE for the LAN, AC vs. DC powered devices, UPS and class 2 vs. class 3 phones.

Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) can reduce energy, travel and related expenses for the entire enterprise through the judicious use of conferencing - audio, video, telepresence and web -- and the emerging tools and technologies for collaboration. This tutorial the new products and services for video, telepresence and collaboration, and explores your options for enabling remote and mobile workers. It will be organized around four frames of reference: * Global Enterprise: Wants to reduce travel and increase efficiency (Telepresence, video, web conferencing). * Enterprise: Wants to tightly connect to customers/partners (Telepresence, video, VPN, presence federation) * Small/remote offices and teleworkers (Video, desktop video, web conferencing, VPN, VoIP, presence) * Road Warriors (desktop video, web conferencing, VPN, VoIP, presence) It will also address the networking requirements for these applications, with an emphasis on managing bandwidth and maintaining quality of service.
