This week the Federal Government of Brazil published a decree establishing measures for the reduction of electricity consumption at the level of the national system. The document provides for a 10% to 20% reduction in consumption between September 2021 and April 2022, compared to the average for the same months in the years 2018 and 2019, and directly impacts data centres and data processing centres in the country.

Since March last year, the 14,000 students at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul (PUC-RS) in Brazil have come to depend on online classes. As in many other institutions around the world, in recent months users have experienced a hybrid context, in which activity has had to be carried out partly remotely, partly in physical environments.

The ITAM process typically involves collecting an up-to-date and detailed inventory of an organization’s hardware, software, and network assets, and then using that information to make informed business decisions about IT-related purchases and redeployment. And increasingly, to help them assess threats, vulnerabilities, and incidents highlighted by monitoring.
