WikitipIncorporate energy metrics as part of value deliveryIT organizations have to begin incorporating energy-based metrics as part of the value equation for infrastructure and applications technologies. Tracking these measures now could ameliorate potential "panic decisions" later in the event that expected energy price spikes catalyze executive spasms. |
Featured Case Study
Green Validation Report: 3PAR InServ Storage ArraysWikibon reviewed the power measurements made on 3PAR’s InServ E200, S400 and S800 storage arrays. These arrays are built from standard components, and enable the power of different configurations to be calculated. The measurements were made at the component level. The measurements were made across three different workloads:

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. |
