WikitipPower and cooling costs are fundamental to storage justificationsCTO’s should develop and keep up to date guidelines that project the likely cost of environmentals for all IT technologies over the next five years. All business cases for IT projects should include a line item for environmentals that should be derived from these guidelines. These funds will be required to significantly improve data center power and thermal management. Specific projections for storage are give in the Wikibon entry Power projection. |
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.

Featured How-To Note |
Planning a Green Storage InitiativeFluctuating 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. | |||
