Precious metals and chemical manufacturer Johnson Matthey is embarking on server consolidation and IT sustainability initiatives to cut costs, raise the company’s environmental leadership profile, and prepare for future environmental legislation.

“Consolidation and sustainability go hand in hand because we can reduce our carbon footprint by streamlining production systems,” said Stephen Way, IT director for Johnson Matthey’s precious metal products division.

The programme will focus on intelligent power management and server consolidation through virtualisation at the company’s datacentres in London and Royston.
