http://www.ibm.com/software/tivoli/solutions/green/?cm_mmc=agus_itmbitivv_20090810-usitv021-_-n-_-cs1-_-m Craig Smesler, of IBM, talks about how the cost of power and cooling for IT infrastructure is becoming a larger and larger concern for companies. This is a very relevant issue for storage, as much of what consumes our floor space is storage infrastructure. The solution? Products that allow them to reduce the capacity necessary to store, products that allow administrators to be more efficient and effective in how they manage that infrastructure, and products that just store things smart. As power and cooling and data center costs become more and more a part of IT infrastructures, by deploying greener products from IBM and Tivoli, companies achieve this and reduce overall IT spend.

We live in an ever-increasingly connected world where our workspace is with us constantly, independent of geographic location and user device. The days of boundaries or obstacles to access information that location, applications and devices would erect are limited and dwindling. These boundaries are being torn down by business necessity, personal preferences and technical innovations. Joel Conover, Senior Marketing Manager at Cisco Systems joins me to discuss a new Cisco network architecture that addresses today's most complex IT challenges called Borderless Networks.

As businesses grow across borders, a new era in branch office IT is emerging born out of systemic business efficiency planning prompted by business leaders efforts to reduce corporate spending as revenues declined during the market crash of 2008. To assist business and IT leaders reduce operational spend, get closer to customers, automate new streamlined business processes and position their firms for the current economic recovery, Cisco has launched the second generation of Integrated Services Routers or ISR G2, their flagship branch office solution for Borderless Networks. Shashi Kiran Senior Manager Network Systems and Security of Cisco Systems discusses macro business trends and explores how these trends are creating a new era in Enterprise Networks.
