Conclusion
Today’s data centers are not built with energy efficiency in mind. It is true that uptime is the main concern of any data center manager and owner but when energy bills become overwhelming, it is high time to think how to reduce them. Green technology is one of the proven ways to save on energy.
There are many steps you can take in order to make your data center green. Consolidation, virtualization, power management, energy efficient equipment (especially power supplies), and cooling are the top priority areas towards a greener data center. If you make improvements in any or all of them, you will see how this affects your energy consumption in a positive way and you will also make your contribution to save the environment.
