Energy experts estimate that
data centers eat up as much as 3% of all electricity generated in the United
States. Executives who are intent on both reducing the environmental impact and
cost of their data center while finding ways to improve capacity, storage and
efficiency, are looking for answers.Corporate, non-profit and government sector executives, who are not
necessarily IT professionals, must become familiar with how resource
consumption within their data center affects things like electricity usage and
carbon emissions.These same
executives must find ways to address the short-term financial commitment to “greening”
their data center while easing the budget pressures that come along with new
regulations. <p>
