STORAGE ENERGY CONSUMPTION - Metrics for Today's Peer Incite
Latest Peer Incites:
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)
WikitipWhere to use de-dupe versus tapeIT management should assess deduplication for enteprise storage systems. However, user expectation of both the amount of benefit (30%-50%) and the range of applications that it will be suitable for (low volatility, low read I/O) should be managed. Look hard at tape storage for long-term use and evaluate moving to a strategy of eliminating tape except for removing data off-site. |
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. |

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. | |||
