Green data centers the way forward

US banking giant Citi is spending €170m (£115.6m) on a new green data centre in Frankfurt, Germany.
The installation is due to be completed in March 2008, and will provide IT services for Citi’s operations in Europe.
‘We were able to create a green facility within the same capital cost as that of a conventional data centre. In addition the lower operating cost over the life cycle of the building is significant,’ said Sue Harnett, head of German operations for Citi.
The new centre will save 25 per cent on electricity consumption compared with existing data facilities, cutting 16,000 megawatt hours a year. And up to 11,000 fewer tons of carbon dioxide will escape into the atmosphere than from a convential data centre of the same size, said Citi.
Good data center design and management can bring real returns on investment, savings in energy costs, ‘your data center carbon footprint’ and your operating costs. Coupling that with energy efficient servers, SAN boot, maybe DC power and virtualization, and you could significantly reduce the energy required to power your server estate whilst meeting the busienss need.
