<p style="color: #666;">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. This effort is not viewed by the IT administration as a one-time project but rather as a perpetual process of evaluating new technology in part on its energy efficiency and introducing it into the corporate data centers to replace aging systems as appropriate. </p>

While technology changes have decreased footprint, power loading (amount of power required for a square foot of data center space) and heat load (the amount of heat that has to be removed from a square foot of data center space) have both escalated dramatically. 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. The technology trends are toward higher heat and power loading, which will exacerbate the problem.

Protecing data is equally important for small and large customers

All customers, large and small, must have in place sensible data protection strategies. Outsourcing data protection is an option that should be considered based on economics, quality, risk reduction and convenience. Large customers should endeavor to carefully consider the operational overheads associated with protecting data and understand total costs for internally managing versus sourcing such services. In general, it is best to do your own homework and not rely solely on the analysis of the service provider. As well, given potentially high switching costs, negotiating shorter contracts is advisable. Smaller customers must begin to recognize that their information is as important as large customers and outsourced data protection services provide a path to best in class data protection.

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.
