As you may know, sustainability is emerging as a key component of cloud technology and data centers. Whether it's Facebook, Amazon, or BMW, companies are in search of more efficiency in their business and technology practices. The Rayno Report will be teaming with leaders in sustainable data-center technology to lead a #GreenCloud social chat on Monday, Nov. 24 at 2 PM ET.

This chat will focus around how green cloud services can help companies with big data needs without growing energy consumption in power-hungry data centers.

Some of the questions we'll address:

• What are the key elements of the #GreenCloud?
• How can business build a better big data process and use green energy at the same time?
• What are the big trends you see in Fortune 500 companies in their attitude toward a #GreenCloud?

This social chat will be hosted on the CrowdChat platform and moderated by Rayno Report Publisher & Chief Analyst, R. Scott Raynovich. Our featured guest speaker includes Pankaj Fichadia from the Open Data Center Alliance. The chat is sponsored by Verne Global.
