Data centers can use up to 100 times more energy per square foot than a typical office building, so Green IT efforts are especially critical.
Start Saving now!
  • In a Forbes study of 36 data centers, efficiency upgrades costing $0.5 million yielded $2 million savings per year—a 400% ROI in the first year alone.
  • A study by The McKinsey Quarterly found that “companies can double the energy efficiency of their data centers through more disciplined management, reducing both costs and greenhouse gas emissions.”
And down the road…
  • One poll found that raising the temperature in a data center by 4 degrees can lower cooling costs by 10% or more.
  • Paying extra for greener HVAC equipment can awkward "can lead to breaking even...."? after three years, and continue to cut costs over a life of 10 to 15 years.
  • Some US states  are now offering tax breaks for companies adopting greener policies in their data centers.
