<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.

WikitipRe-think backup requirements with clustered storageIt will take some years before the market decides what combinations of storage topologies are optimum, as vendors and customers try different approaches to melding file system, disk storage, tape storage and network technologies. Organizations should ensure that experience is gained with multiple storage approaches, including emerging clustered designs for so-called cloud computing (e.g. Google File System, EMC's Hulk/Maui, etc). Such new architectures support an always-on approach and presume failure of components such that traditional backup may not be necessary. These technologies should be tested at all stages from application design to operational implementation. Storage needs to be organized to encourage different approaches, including outsourcing storage to third parties. |
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. |

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. | |||
