VMware Commits to Achieve Carbon Neutral Emissions by 2020

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.

Why We Trust Cork To Bottle Up Angel’s Envy® Bourbon

Portugal is the source of the port casks that give its whiskey its subtle and distinctive flavors. But ANGEL’S ENVY, a Bacardi-owned brand, as well as many other wines and spirits in the Bacardi portfolio including its line of single malts and blended Scotch whiskies, D’USEE® and BARON OTARD® cognacs, and MARTINI® sparkling wines, owe Portugal a debt of gratitude for another surprisingly important contribution: cork.
