BROOMFIELD — Centers that house computer servers and store data aren’t friends of the Earth.
Between 2000 and 2006, data center energy consumption more than doubled in the U.S., according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Consumption exceeded that of all the country’s color televisions.
Sun Microsystems has spent the past 4 1/2 years rethinking the industry.
On Monday, Sun unveiled its latest effort – a data center in Broomfield projected to save the company more than $1 million in electricity costs and 11,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions a year.
An interesting article talking about data center efficiency, in this case talking about Sun’s achievements, do check it out. It’s always good to see what range of technologies, best practice and environmental tools can be used to improve data center efficiency and operating costs.
