PORTLAND, Ore. & TOKYO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The Green Grid, a global consortium dedicated to advancing energy efficiency in data centers and business computing ecosystems, today announced the formation of two new Japan Work Groups as well as a formal relationship with The Green IT Promotion Council. Responding to strong industry and government demand, these steps are designed to expand the organization’s presence to Asia with initial operations in Japan. Representing an important opportunity for The Green Grid to extend its IT energy efficiency advocacy to this key region, the new Japan Work Groups are expected to enable The Green Grid to establish a unique set of best practices, metrics and technologies tailored for locally-based organizations.

“The Green Grid is responding to a long and strong history in Japan to improve data center energy efficiency,” said John Tuccillo, director of The Green Grid. “The launch of these new Work Groups will position The Green Grid to make strategic, tailored recommendations to Japanese businesses and organizations, with the goal to promote a sustained increase in energy efficiency.”

Reporting to the Technical Committee, the Japan Data Collection and Analysis Work Group will be chartered with collecting and analyzing data from The Green Grid’s Japanese member companies and to ensure that consortium recommendations are tailored appropriately for Japan-based organizations. In addition, the Japan Communications Work Group will promote the key findings of the Technical Committee to Japanese IT professionals including data center managers, serve as a point of engagement for Japanese organizations interested in collaborating with The Green Grid, and support local marketing and IT energy efficiency events.

Very cool, it will be interesting to see what feedback and issues are reported through these new groups with a presence in Japan and Asia. The more we continue to share knowledge on the issues and resolutions we’re having in the workplace, what we have done to resolve issues, and what best practices can be adopted, the more we can adopt an industry wide resolution to implementing an environmentally efficient IT infrastructure that brings with it the return on investment, as well as the enabler aspect to my business.
