At the recent InfoWorld Virtualization Forum in New York, I hosted a panel discussion about the green datacenter.

At the recent InfoWorld Virtualization Forum in New York, I hosted a panel discussion about the green datacenter. One of the participants was Lewis Curtis, infrastructure architect and advisor at Microsoft, who hosts a blog of his own about the green datacenter.

In addition to writing on the subject, he conducts interviews and posts them there. Well, at the event, he asked to interview me, and I was happy, if not a bit nervous, to oblige. After all, I’m usually the one asking the questions, not answering them.

I think it turned out pretty well as we covered some of the basics about green/sustainable technology, why it’s important, and whether it’s merely a fad. If you’d like to have a listen, check it out here.

Curtis also has an interview with Jim Smith, VP of engineering at Digital Realty. Smith was on the panel, too, plus I did a video interview with him a while back. He’s a really knowledgable fellow, plus he tackles the topic of the green datacenter from a vendor-neutral perspective.
