ORLANDO, Fla. — The Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA) announced today that it has formed an alliance with The Green Grid. The SNIA and its Green Storage Initiative (GSI) plan to work with The Green Grid in developing and promoting standards, measurement methods, processes and technologies to improve overall data center energy efficiencies.

“Tackling the challenges associated with energy efficiency and green computing will require collaboration across all areas of the IT industry,” said Vincent Franceschini, Chair of the SNIA. “Storage plays an important role in power and energy efficiency within data centers and business computing ecosystems. With that, the SNIA’s Green Storage Initiative is dedicated to applying the technical and educational expertise of the storage industry to the broader view of the data center to collaborate, develop and find more energy efficient solutions for the IT industry.”

Very cool, getting the Storage Networking Industry Association involved with  The Green Grid has to be a good thing. That the two can collaborate on the storage aspect of the data center, working on best practices, standards to aid management and efficiency has to be a good thing for the innovation of storage and the end user.
