Sun Microsystems has announced a comprehensive suite of programs and solutions to help customers design more energy-efficient, eco-responsible datacenters while saving money.

The Eco Innovation Initiative is an extension of Sun’s Eco Responsibility Initiative, which was launched in November 2005. Among the tools announced are three Eco Ready Kits: the Sun Eco Assessment Kit provides a methodical approach to analyzing datacenters’ energy efficiency; the Sun Eco Optimization Kit helps customers optimize, consolidate, refresh, and recycle their hardware infrastructure; and the Sun Eco Virtualization Kit offers virtualization solutions that enable better asset utilization and datacenter energy efficiency.In addition, Sun announced the new Sun Eco Services Suite to help customers improve their datacenter energy utilization, and tune their cooling air distribution and other infrastructure systems that can impact both operational costs and service levels. The Sun Eco Services Suite encompasses four service offerings: the Sun Eco Assessment Service for Datacenter, Basic is specifically designed to maximize power and cooling efficiency in the IT infrastructure running Web-based services; the Sun Eco Assessment Service for Datacenter, Advanced is a comprehensive datacenter service providing a technical evaluation of datacenter energy use, cooling capacity, rack placement, air distribution and other environmental factors; the Sun Eco Cooling Efficiency Service for Datacenter helps recover misused air-conditioning capacity and direct it to the areas where it is needed, improving hardware cooling and increasing redundancy while helping reduce capital and operating costs.

Very cool, anything Sun (or the other vendors) can do to help with the energy efficiency message, to show how an energy efficient infrastructure might not only be a business enabler, a tool for delivery, but also be a way of controlling your costs, and helping with your corporate social responsibility.
