The 2006 Digital Power Forum (DPF '06) has added eWEEK as a supporting sponsor. With 400,100 subscribers, eWEEK will provide DPF '06 with an increased reach into the enterprise computing community and will directly support the data center power and cooling track of papers that is premiering at this year's event. The new track on digital energy management at the facilities level is being organized in cooperation with Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ENERGY STAR Program.
In addition to the new track of papers, this year's DPF will feature a Roundtable Discussion titled: "When Will the Switchover to Digital Power Take Place?"

"We are excited that eWEEK has joined the long list of companies, organizations and publications that are actively sponsoring this year's Digital Power Forum," stated Jeff Shepard, President of Darnell Group. "Data center power and cooling is an important topic for many of eWEEK's readers. A typical data center can consume over $1 million of electricity annually. As "The Enterprise Newsweekly," eWEEK reaches an increasingly important constituency for DPF '06."
