In this episode we are looking at a pressing issue that goes well beyond the tech world - sustainability and our networking infrastructure.

In particular, In this episode, we’ll be asking how networking and sustainability can go hand in hand – from reducing the amount of materials we use, to lowering energy consumption, to making our buildings and offices more efficient through the network.
Joining us to discuss is Jon Howell. He’s the Smart Spaces and IoT Lead for Europe, Africa and the Middle East at HPE Aruba Networking.

This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week we look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organizations and what we can learn from it.
