Three actions to reduce energy consumption

According to PG&E, based on customer data and best practice, the three most important things organizations can do to reduce energy consumption are:

  1. Use outside air*
  2. Implement hot and cold aisles with monitoring capabilities
  3. Virtualize servers and storage
  • Note: the use of outside air is dependent on location. Worst locale in the U.S. is Tampa Florida (~5% savings). Best locale is Fairbanks Alaska (~65% savings).

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.
