Globally, women play a powerful role in sustainability.  Across countries, organizations and communities, women make a substantial, positive contribution to growth and innovation, while also impacting environmental and social crises. This still-emerging and significant influence is one reason the United Nations prioritizes gender equality and women’s empowerment as one of its 17 interrelated Sustainable Development Goals. Equality through sustainable development benefits all Although women average 40% of the world’s labor force, women continue to lag in promotional opportunities, wages, and land ownership.  They are inhibited in their pursuit of education and employment by lack of access to social and natural resources.

When the FCC ignored the fact that most Americans support net neutrality, Americans spoke up again, asking Congress to reverse the FCC’s decision. And the Senate listened .

Digitization is driving the need for increased resiliency across data center architectures, from cloud-based data centers to the edge. I co-authored a white paper a couple of years back focused on this very topic. But what does it mean to be resilient? How do I ensure my business processes remain available? In the past, most would turn to the various existing tier or criticality methods to assess a data center or design a new data center to the required availability level. About 2 ½ years ago, The Green Grid saw an opportunity to build on these methods, not only to contemplate traditional redundancy and availability approaches, but to also consider the impact to availability by innovative and sustainable energy. I have had the privilege of participating in the workgroup that collaborated on an open standard for data center availability, called OSDA . The output of this workgroup resulted in an online tool assessing availability levels. It is a work-in-progress as it focuses mainly o...
