Sustainability of Future Critical Power Infrastructure
- Joe Oreskovic, Eaton Power Quality Company, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
3 CECs – RCDD, RITP, DCDC, NTS, OSP, ITS Installer/Technician
Cloud computing and virtualization is driving increased focus on data center infrastructures. These technologies and platforms have introduced many new challenges, leaving executives and data center operators concerned over the state of the power infrastructure. Subsequently, the power delivery architecture requirements need to be flexible enough to support the dynamic data center growth of not only traditional large data centers, but also within the rack enclosure itself.
This seminar will address high-density, modular, scalable power protection architectures by focusing on the entire power chain, from the building entrance to the equipment itself. The information will include traditional designs to distributed rack deployments; an evaluation of the current data center; power distribution schemes to maximize efficiency and reduce costs of heat; deployment of strategies and sizing for future requirements; and a discussion of future trends to improve both power utilization and availability of the critical systems.
The Changing Video Environment - Understanding Video Technology and Infrastructure from Analog to Digital
- Joseph Cornwall, Cables To Go, Moraine, Ohio, USA
3 CECs � RCDD, RITP, ITS Installer/Technician
In this seminar the attendee will learn about all aspects of video technology, starting with analog basics and progressing to the complex world of digital video. We will explore the characteristics of digital A/V environment and discuss applications such as digital signage, presentation systems, collaborative and educational spaces, hospitality and health care facilities. Covering both analog and Transition Minimized Differential Signaling (TMDS), the digital technology underlying Displayport, HDMI and DVI-D signals, this is an exploration of video critical to future success.
