Green IT, energy-saving and protect the environment
Increased energy efficiency of data centers is in the light of the growing use
of modern information and communication technologies and the Internet is an important approach to climate protection. For servers and data centers are among the most rapidly growing power consumers within the sector.
For many data centers, energy consumption in the next five years to one of the biggest cost factors. According to calculations of the Border Step Institute, the current cost of data centers already in the years 2000 to 2006 more than tripled. It is worth investing in energy-efficient products and processes economically most amazingly fast: payback periods of two years or less are the rule.
