ITIT

Computers have become a very vital way of getting things done around the Ontario Science Centre.

Is it possible to completely eliminate their usage?

NOThen what can we do?

There are many different ways that an infrastructure as big as the OSC can save money in their Information Technologies.

[Pictoral view of how the network is set up/how it works]

Well we have such an excellent IT staff here at the OSC that they have made a very good example of the OSC by stepping out and making our data centers run as efficiently as possible.

Blade systems Wake-up utility Virtualization servers

Force hibernate at certain time/after certain idle time

Heat recovery system for data centres SSD

Many of the things that have not been implemented at the OSC are because it is simply not financially beneficial to invest in products at this point.

The financially and socially beneficial thing to invest in is research being done on something such as SSD.
