Key Agenda Items to be Addressed: 

• Review and discuss Tier 2 Objectives, Strategies, and Timeline
• Review key requirements from Tier 1 that will be refined and rolled over to Tier 2
• Discuss the means to highlight servers that are the most efficient while actively computing
• Several presentations will be provided by end users to discuss their experiences in selecting server equipment and how the ENERGY STAR program could serve as a resource during this process.
