Speaker:
Lluis Font
CEO NTRglobal
Track:Deploying Virtualization in the Enterprise
In this session, CIOs will hear how global companies and SMBs alike can assess opportunities to adopt Green Support solutions in the Cloud and make these efforts highly visible to internal and external audiences.

Technology companies are under increasing pressure to go Green. With Wall Street, environmental groups, as well as customers, stockholders, and employees all pushing Green issues with corporate executives, the trend is hard to ignore.
