Retailers need to look at their data center costs
New research commissioned by data centre infrastructure firm RichardsoNEyres shows that on average, top UK retailers are overspending by £1.25 million a year on the power needed to run their data centres which can equate to 50 per cent of total data centre costs and 10 per cent of their total energy bills.
The survey also showed that moe than 80 per cent of the UK’s top retailers are making rising energy prices and wasted costs a top priority for 2008/9.
The research, undertaken in association with industry analysts IDL, profiled organisations from the UK’s top 100 retailers to highlight the main data centre challenges they are facing.
