The green data center is the way forward
Yes, but the shade of green will vary. While it’s clear that the next generation data center will be an energy efficient data center, incorporating other green data center features — from reduced water usage, to sustainable site planning, to sourcing IT gear manufactured in a more eco-responsible fashion — are not likely to happen at the same pace.
Why? Reduced energy consumption in the data center offers tangible and immediate environmental and economic savings, but also goes hand-in-hand with alleviating out of space and out of power concerns — challenges, that for now, trump purely green motivations.
Check out this great post about the green data center. I think by default data centers are going to have to become green (or more energy efficient) in order to contain operational costs, but also as a result of more focus on corporate social responsibility (the carbon footprint of your data center/your business) as well as the availability of power. I wonder if we wont find that the next generation data center utilizes smart technology and energy efficient processes to achieve the levels of service/functionality we need within the power and cooling constraints that we have.
