WikitipUnderstand the metrics for green storageIT organizations have an opportunity to participate actively in energy reduction strategies and must act urgently to quantify the problem, change perceptions and benchmark progress. Construct a plan of attack that includes green metrics. The fact is that storage is only a small part of the problem but embracing this reality will allow organizations to preserve service levels, streamline infrastructure and demonstrate ongoing bottom line financial contribution. |
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. | |||
