New IBM Podcast Gives Listeners a Glimpse Into ˝The Future of Smart IT˝

ARMONK, NY - 27 Feb 2008: IBM (NYSE: IBM) announced today the launch of ˝The Future of Smart IT˝ podcast, the fifth episode in its 2008 series of conversations with thought leaders on how technology will change everyday life. Hosted by IBM´s Scott Laningham, the new podcast features Dan Esty, co-author of ˝Green to Gold˝ and Director of the Yale Center for Environmental Policy, and Dennis Quan, IBM´s chief technology officer for High Performance On Demand Solutions.

With high-tech gadgets, data centers and embedded technology consuming ballooning amounts of electricity -- data centers alone accounted for 60 billion kilowatt hours or 1.5% of total US electricity consumption in 2006 -- organizations are becoming smarter in their management of IT to reduce energy consumption. In doing so, they ensure rising demand doesn´t get trapped by limited supply. Further, they are discovering that the application of smart IT across business processes creates a competitive advantage.
