WikitipGet started on green ITWith all the focus on going green today, it's important to get started on a green strategy for IT. Organizations should perform an assessment of current power consumption, forecast requirements and identify gaps. Without a strategy, some businesses risk running out of power or being forced to add another data center to access sufficient energy for their IT needs. Here are some rules of thumb. |
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. |
