Cross-posted to IBMVM, IBMMAIN, and Linux390 listservs for
those who who are interested in these complimentary web casts
about System z.
There is no charge to participate in this technical education session
What's new and different about this LVC ?
1 - This is the first System z LVC that will be delivered using the
Adobe Connect Pro which does not require a client code download.
You just need a web browser and the Adobe Flashù Player runtime
software. You register and create a userid and password that you
remember to attend future webcasts.
If you recall the past LVCs required you to do a client
download, and there was not a choice for Linux workstations.
We hope this new vehicle works well for you. If not, no doubt
you'll let us know :-)
2 - You have a choice of times (so that you can ask questions
during a live broadcast). Replay will also be available.
Topic: Big Blue Goes Green: Update on Project Big Green
Speaker: Bill Reeder, IBM System z Sales and Strategy; Americas Group
Date: Wednesday, December 3
Times: 11:00 AM ET or 4:00 PM ET
Duration: 75 Minutes
Abstract:
On August 1; 2007 IBM announced that its Project Big Green would spur a
global shift to Linux on the mainframe. Further; IBM claimed to
double computing capacity with no increase in consumption or impact
by 2010. And; as if that were not ambitious enough; IBM also announced
that it would consolidate 3; 900 of its own distributed servers to
33 mainframe computers in 3 years.
Listen to how IBM's efforts will save 80% on energy consumption; while
realizing significant savings in labor and software costs.Bill will
highlight our journey to date as well as the solutions that we
have used or developed to realize success thus far; with more to come.
