CUSTOMS TRADE PARTNERSHIP AGAINST TERRORISM (C-TPAT)
Following Bob
Boyle's introduction, Shawn Beddows and Michael Filsinger, Representations from
the US CUSTOMS BORDER PROTECTION, C-TPAT PROGAM will give an overview on the C
C-TPAT is a US government business initiative that was introduced in 2001. It is designed to strengthen overall supply chain and border security by working in close cooperation with key members of the supply chain - importer, carriers, brokers, warehouse operators and manufacturers.
Businesses must apply to participate in C-TPAT, which can be done via the US Customs website. Shipments from participants in C-TPAT will be able to move across US borders quicker than non-member shipments, because Customs will offer potential benefits to C-TPAT members, most notably a reduced number of inspections (reduced border times).
William Thermann, Thermann Assocites and Security Consultant, will discuss how you can participate in this program.
After retiring from the Cranford Police Department in June of 1998, William Thermann obtained his Private Detective License from the State of New Jersey, incorporating and forming Thermann Associates Inc. in September of 1998. This agency provides professional consulting in the security field to private industry.
Counterfeit IT equipment is showing up in a lot of places, including Federal Government installations. The Government and Commercial customers are concerned about this growing trend.
The ASCDI has been working on this issue for a while now. Join representatives from the FBI, Neil Vill, Jordan Wolfe, Thomas Weltin and Joe Marion as they bring you up to date on ASCDI plans to deal with counterfeit and solicit your input on the road forward.

10:45 AM - 11:30 AM IBM BASICS and NEW BUSINESS DEVELOPMENTS
Keynote Speaker, John Lamb is a
Senior Technical Staff Member and IBM Senior Certified IT Architect for IBM
Global Business Services. A senior member of the IEEE and ASME engineering
societies, he has published more than 50 technical papers and articles. He has
also authored five books, including "The Greening of IT: How Companies Can Make
a Difference for the Environment", published in May 2009. He holds a B.A. from
the University of Notre Dame and a Ph.D. in Engineering Science from the
University of California at Berkeley.
SUMMARY
OF PRESENTATION:
Green IT and the Smart Electric Grid are significant parts of the “Green”
concepts that will help us reduce greenhouse gases which in turn will help
reduce global warming. Recent UN and White House sessions on climate change
emphasize the environmental importance of “Green” projects. Implementing green
data centers and green IT, in addition to helping save the world, can also be
very financially rewarding. According to IDC, by 2010 for every $1 spent on
hardware, 70 cents will be spent on power and cooling and by 2012 for every $1
spent on hardware, $1 will be spent on power and cooling. IBM’s “Big Green”
presentations on Green Data Centers have generated significant customer interest
throughout the world. In May 2007 IBM announced Project Big Green, a redirection
of $1 billion USD per year across its businesses to increase the energy
efficiency of IBM products and services. Green IT technology covers a broad
spectrum from efficient cooling towers and variable speed blowers, to the use of
energy efficient IT systems such as virtual servers, blade centers, and virtual
data storage.
The Smart Electric Grid is one of the significant areas for promoting green
energy in the US Government's $800 billion stimulus package. Our power grids are
the largest remaining artifacts of the Industrial Age and they are due for a
smart upgrade. Using broadband data streams, digital sensors and advanced
analytics, demand can be understood in real time. Utility companies can source
and manage power more intelligently, helping to bring renewable sources onto the
grid. Consumers could understand the variable cost of power and alter their
behavior accordingly. A smarter utility network could also handle the growing
demand for hybrid and electric cars. Today's utility grid would struggle to
manage this burden. IBM is currently working on several Smart Grid projects
including a project for a smart electric grid for the island country of Malta
off the coast of Italy. This session will discuss the status and future of
worldwide green IT and smart grid technologies and projects.

LUNCHEON PRESENTATION: JON WILLIAM TOIGO
Sustainable Green IT: A Fact-Based Approach to Solving the Data Center Power Conundrum
Green IT has become a front burner issue for senior management in business today. Whether “green” refers to carbon footprint and climate change, or to the color of all of the money that is being spent to pay for costly – and in some cases, hard to come by – utility power service, it is and will continue to be an issue that impacts IT decision-making. In this presentation, Jon Toigo will argue that storage, not servers, has become the biggest power pig in the data center. He will examine industry options for reducing storage power consumption and present an alternative view of the greenest piece of hardware in anyone’s shop today: the Delete key.
