<p style="color: #666;">Fluctuating energy prices have heightened electricity and energy consumption as a major issue within the technology community. IT is a significant consumer of energy and IT energy costs have been rising disproportionately because of continued investment in denser IT equipment. Estimates from the EPA and others indicate that IT will account for 3% of energy consumption by 2012.</p> | <p style="color: #666;">Fluctuating energy prices have heightened electricity and energy consumption as a major issue within the technology community.

WikitipAdequate data protectionWhat is adequate data protection? Adequate data protection means that the vast majority of backups (90%+) are completed successfully and IT professionals have tools and metrics that track successful completion of backup. It also means IT professionals are responsible for ensuring that backups are completed properly, the process is documented and highly automated with as little human intervention as possible. Adequate protection also implies that a business impact analysis has been performed and the RPO and RTO of major applications is understood and backup and recovery processes align with these objectives. |
Featured Case Study
Financial giant goes greenThe corporate IT group of a very large, worldwide financial organization with 100,000 employees, has initiated an ongoing “greening” process. This is focused largely on reducing energy use both to decrease the corporation's carbon footprint while creating a net savings in operational costs over the lifetime of new, more energy-efficient equipment, including new storage systems. |
