As the communication technologies leveraged by the public safety sector advance, the intersection with smart city initiatives becomes all the more inevitable. Technological advances afforded by broadband long-term evolution (LTE) networks have changed how first responders, city and county officials, public agencies and transportation fleets communicate and gather data to better serve their communities.

Winter brings long nights, cold temperatures—and high energy bills. All of that artificial heat and light uses up energy resources and costs a lot.

Thought leaders in the environmental sustainability world have long advanced the concept of resilience as a prerequisite to corporate or organizational sustainability. The concept of decoupling resource use from reliance on physical capacity is a concept very close to VMware’s DNA. VMware’s solutions have already enabled a level of “virtual decoupling” of physical IT infrastructure in the data center for its customers. The process of creating a software-based (or “virtual”) representation of something physical, which can apply to computers, data storage, and networks, is the single most effective way to reduce IT energy consumption while boosting efficiency and flexibility—core concepts in increasing resilience and hence sustainability.
