How green are data centers becoming?
A survey of firms by the Business Performance Management (BPM) Forum shows that despite showing concern for making data centre operations more environmentally sound, few firms have any specific plans in place.
The survey shows that most IT managers give their operations failing grades in reducing energy consumption.
An interesting article and it highlights some interesting concepts. I wonder if this is a mixture of things, environmentally sound could suggest a number of things to different user communities, and specific plans for an environmentally sound data center could also mean different things to different people. At one end of the scale it could be the data center that’s wind and solar powered, with no kvm’s, operating using lights out functionality running virtualization technologies to provide the infrastructure. Is it not that data center energy consumption is a priority because it’s a limited resource? Am I adopting environmental processes/technologies to be more environmentally friendly or to stretch the life span of the data center, to keep deploying servers/instances or service for as long as possible before I have to move data centers or upgrade my existing one? We’ll have to see, do check it out.
