Did you know that a 2006 study by the U.S. Department of Energy revealed that about 2.5% of the total electrical power produced by the U.S. is being consumed by IT equipment and facilities equipment located in Data Centers?
I am posting this information about an important 10-week online course in the Greening of the Data Center that will be taught at Marist College in Poughkeepsiie, NY. The cost is only $1000.
Also consider this, you can claim 6 hours of CPEs for each of those 10 weeks, so this can make a considerable dent in the annual CPE requirements for certifications like CISSP, SSCP, CISA, PMP, etc.
