Green IT Infrastructure Energy and Sustainability Special with Ami Badani, VP of Networking at NVIDIA

Published on: 6th January, 2023

With Energy considerations from costs through to sustainability increasingly centre stage, the demand for Green IT Infrastructure has never resonated more strongly. In this special we unpack the key drivers of change in this space and then focus in on the use of Data Processing Units (DPUs) for accelerated computing and energy efficiency benefits, highlighting the latest BlueField DPU innovation by NVIDIA. In tests with Ericsson, Red Hat and VMware the results are stunning across both power reduction and performance increase perspectives - the embodiment of shared value impact!

To explore all the latest developments, I am joined by the always inspiring Ami Badani, Vice President of Networking at NVIDIA. In our wide ranging discussion, we also cover support for CSPs to better plan, deploy and operate networks more sustainably, the 'ingredients' of purpose-driven leadership, building shared-value business models, skill needs for the future and some inspiring tech for good in action too - always a subject close to heart!
