Event Details

Join experts from Dell Technologies, WattTime, and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography for a conversation about how software and automation can help improve the efficiency and sustainability of modern infrastructure.

The session will explore how real-time grid data can inform operational decisions, how observability and automation can support more sustainable private cloud environments, and how AI-driven operations may help reduce the energy and carbon impacts of AI infrastructure.

Presenters will also share insights from early pilot work with the Scripps Institution of Oceanography that helped shape Concept Astro, an innovation program focused on exploring the vision for the future of efficient data centers. This discussion is relevant for organizations looking to improve energy efficiency or reduce carbon emissions while maintaining strong infrastructure performance.
