Cassatt CEO Bill Coleman to Keynote O'Reilly Velocity Conference

Distributed by Press Release

SAN JOSE, Calif. (Map) - SAN JOSE, Calif., June 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Cassatt(R) Corporation, a leader in providing software to make data centers more efficient, today announced that Bill Coleman, Cassatt chairman and CEO, will be a keynote speaker at the new O'Reilly Velocity Web Performance and Operations Conference, scheduled for June 23-24 at the San Francisco Airport Marriott in Burlingame, Calif. Coleman, who will be talking about the creation and importance of new "Green Data Centers," is scheduled to speak at 9:15 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time on the first day of the show, Monday, June 23, 2008, in Salons E-F.

"The everyday use of the Internet has created a huge demand for data center infrastructure to support communication and collaboration in 'the cloud,'" said Coleman. "But simply adding more servers without altering how data centers operate means escalating energy consumption, computing capacity problems, serious environmental impact, and unmanageable costs. We at Cassatt believe data center efficiency starts with a simple, intelligent approach to operating your servers - use them only when you need them. Power management is the first of many ways to make your data center more efficient while reducing its carbon footprint at the same time."

"

Bill Coleman is most famous for being the 'B' in BEA and for leading the creation of Solaris while at Sun," said Jesse Robbins, contributor to the O'Reilly Radar and co-chair of the Velocity Conference. "Bill has already twice transformed our industry, and he is now changing the way we think about and manage data centers and the software that runs within them," said Robbins.

The O'Reilly Velocity Web Performance and Operations Conference is designed to deliver the best information on building and operating web sites that are fast, reliable, and highly available. At Velocity, Coleman will join speakers from companies such as Akamai Technologies, AOL, Google, IBM, Microsoft, Mozilla, Sun Microsystems and Yahoo.
