Environmental protection in IT industry is imminent. Green storage leads the future of IT.

Environmental protection in IT industry is imminent. Green storage leads future IT. With the growth of GDP in China, energy consumption is also increasing at the rate of 10% per year. 50% of China's annual government energy consumption of 80 billion yuan is the energy consumption of IT products. According to the survey, the energy consumption of IT products is increasing by 8%- 10% every year. In 2007, the total power consumption of IT products is expected to be 30-50 billion kWh, and the carbon dioxide emitted by IT power consumption will reach at least 35 million tons! Data center energy consumption accounts for 40% of IT energy consumption. According to IDC statistics, storage-related equipment accounts for about 37% of data center power consumption, ranking first among all data center power consumption! In this context, green storage with energy saving, environmental protection and high efficiency as the core standard values has gradually become an innovative trend leading the next generation IT industry revolution. Therefore, Storage China 2007 Summit was held in Beijing on February 65438+February 65438+February 2007. With the theme of "Green Storage, Energy Saving China", authoritative experts, industry leaders, enterprise users, thousands of enterprise technical decision makers and professionals from the global information storage industry were invited to gather together to help participants solve many problems encountered in enterprise informatization. At present, the green wave with the core value of "energy saving, high efficiency and economy" is sweeping the whole IT industry. "It is precisely because of this trend of green revolution that the theme of the 2007 Storage China Summit is' Green Storage and Energy Saving China'." Mr. Zheng, President and CEO of Storage Online, the organizer, said in his opening speech. He pointed out that only the development of China environment can make us more successful, and the storage industry will have a bright future in China. Environmental protection and energy consumption are fatal to the development of IT industry? It is clearly pointed out in the 11th Five-Year Plan that the energy consumption per unit of GDP will be reduced by about 20% during 2006-20 10. Recently, the State Council's "Implementation Measures for Statistical Monitoring and Assessment of Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction", the targets of energy conservation and emission reduction have been included in the performance appraisal of governments at all levels, and the top leaders who fail to complete the tasks will be dismissed. When energy conservation and emission reduction and building a conservation-oriented society become the voice of the government, the IT industry is facing enormous challenges. Government e-commerce, enterprise e-commerce, personal electronization, the information trend of the whole society is in the ascendant. IT industry is playing an increasingly irreplaceable role in national production and life. And its huge energy consumption and environmental protection problems have surfaced with the development of the industry and the increasing energy cost, which has increasingly become the fatal weakness of the healthy and sustainable development of the IT industry! It is understood that Storage China 2007 Summit will take "Green Storage, Energy Saving China" as the theme of this summit. IT attracted more than 2000 IT professionals, industry experts, well-known manufacturers and business representatives to attend. * * * In-depth discussion on energy problems and solutions in IT and storage industries. Director Zhao of the State Council Press Office who attended the meeting made an important government work report on the theme of "Green IT and Energy Saving China", pointing out: "Green IT is the only way for the sustainable development of the information industry and an important part of China's sustainable development strategy. The energy saving, optimization and high efficiency advocated by green storage will be the mainstream trend of the future development of the storage industry. " With the development of IT technology, the explosive growth of data has become a reality that enterprises must face today. According to the research report of IDC and software company EMC, by 2006, the total amount of digital information created, stored and copied reached 16 10 billion GB, and it is predicted that this data will reach 988 billion GB in 20 10, which is equivalent to1500 million times of all book information in human history. Under the background that IT department has more and more influence on enterprises. Data growth For enterprises, the data storage, energy cost, cooling, personnel, data security and other aspects of their data centers will encounter unprecedented challenges; Furthermore, the efficiency of the data center will directly affect the customer experience, the daily operation and management of enterprises, the competitiveness of enterprises and other direct interests. A business representative who attended the meeting bluntly said: "In the past, the capacity of Beijing's data center was 10tb, and now it is 400tb; ; The computer room used to be spacious, but now it is getting more and more crowded; I used to wear a coat when I entered the computer room. Now I turn on all the refrigeration and air conditioning. Wearing short sleeves in the computer room is still hot, and the cost of the data center is getting higher and higher! " Therefore, green storage is imperative. Facing the environmental and commercial crisis, energy storage products and solutions with high efficiency and low energy consumption will become people's expectations. Green storage is not only the responsibility of an IT enterprise, but also the global IT giants stand together again at the Storage China 2007 Summit when * * faces the double crisis of environment and commerce! China 2007 Summit, as a meeting of industry leaders, includes 6 major theme forums, 24 technical seminars, and a tripartite summit forum for representatives of government, manufacturers and enterprises. The summit brought together international giants in the storage industry, such as IBM, EMC, Hewlett-Packard, H3C, Fujitsu and NetApp. High-level and authoritative experts from global IT giants attended the summit and delivered wonderful speeches, profoundly expounding the new technologies and development trends of the global information storage industry. The participating manufacturers put forward solutions around the theme of green storage and combined with their own product technologies. We also had an interactive discussion with the representatives of participating enterprises on virtualization technology, enterprise IT architecture, unified storage, data deduplication and data security protection. In addition, the organizer Storage Online(www.dostor.com) and its parent company Chuko Media Group (DMG) announced that following Storage Online and server online, two new enterprise IT information portals, Software Online and Secure Online, were officially launched. Small and medium-sized enterprises can fully understand the trends and trends in the information field and promote the development of information technology by building an integrated IT information platform in software, hardware, servers and data security. It was learned at the press conference that the "Storage Billboard", as the weather vane of the storage industry, was also announced in 65438+February 65438+March. Different from the past, the "storage billboard" in 2007 also combined the theme of the summit "green storage". According to the green standards, the relevant awards in four chapters were selected: product, brand, application and China. Mr. Zheng, President and CEO of Storage Online, pointed out in an interview after the meeting: "As a part of the overall IT architecture of an enterprise, storage plays an increasingly important role in the development of the enterprise. Especially for small and medium-sized enterprises in the initial stage of informatization, green storage will make their informatization development less detours and is an important part of the enterprise development strategy.
