<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.

1. Six Wikibon experts break down EMC's recent analyst event (23 Mins)
2. Grant, a Sr. Storage Admin at a large bank discusses how heterogeneous storage virtualization can help reduce the budget for 2009. (20 Mins)
WikitipSet expectations to support 2009 budget cutsStorage executives should immediately develop and begin implementing a plan to reduce expenses to support 2009 budget edicts. Negotiating leverage, reduced service levels, pragmatic headcount cuts and storage virtualization are the tools of the budget cutting trade that users should employ. Communications is the key. Storage execs need to set expectations that everyone must sacrifice and somewhat reduced service levels in non-critical areas are to be expected. |
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. |
