Computer Security Awareness Training

I just read a great article in eWeek about a new Green IT and Green Computing certification being developed by DOE.

The U.S. Department of Energy plans to reduce energy use in U.S. data centers by 10% over the next 2 years with a new training certificate for data center managers that focuses on energy efficiency.

The Save Energy Now program will begin October 21st, 2009, at Georgia Tech’s Global Learning and Conference Center in Atlanta.

By targeting power conversion and distribution, server load, computing operations, cooling equipment, and alternative power generation, Save Energy Now aims to reduce energy use by ten percent by the end of 2011. Chris Preimesberger outlines the full story in the eWeek article linked above.

It will be interesting to see how this and other initiatives being pushed by the President create new policies and compliance areas in the next few years.
