Situation |
In the US, Data Centers release 44 million metric tons of CO2 into the air annually, consuming 61 billion kwH and costing $4.5 billion. Going Green in the data center is about reducing power, reducing CO2 and driving energy cost out of the IT infrastructure. A smart data management policy is critical to reducing the cost in power and cooling while fulfilling the needs of data retention.
The greening of the data center requires |
|
- Tiering of data for optimal storage--access vs power consumed
- Understanding the total data lifecycle cost
- Reducing storage from production to Test and Development
|
| |

It is a mistake to think of the climate crisis as one in a list of issues, it is the issue.
