The result is higher energy costs to provide power and extract heat from the data center, and lower utilization of data center floor space because of power and cooling limitations.

Archive everything at your own risk

The current practice of archiving everything at some firms puts them at undue risk. The courts do not require organizations to retain all records forever and doing so exposes companies to legal plaintiff attorneys flipping the burden of proof.

Featured Case Study

Financial giant goes green

The 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 Initiative

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.
