Distributor Bell Micro has joined forces with HP to launch an initiative called Going Green, which it claims will help resellers deploy greener IT infrastructures.

Initially, Going Green will focus solely on datacentres, but in time may incorporate other sectors.

Speaking to CRN, James Greenham, business manager for mission-critical and network services at HP, said: “HP launched a datacentre assessment service about 18 months ago, but decided it needed better penetration so began discussions with Bell to create a green package for Bell’s resellers which included our datacentre assessment service.”

Going Green will also consist of consultancy around datacentre consolidation as well as focus on blades and virtualisation.

Very cool, it will be interesting to see what solutions they are offering and their initiative should further the green message and show people what technical solutions can be put together to form an energy efficient and business enabling IT infrastructure.
