Dell R610 and R710 meet EPA Energy Star requirements
Dell officials are announcing that two of its PowerEdge server platforms, the R610 and R710, now meet the requirements needed for the EPA’s Energy Star program for servers, which was instituted in May. The Energy Star label means the systems are energy efficient and environmentally friendly. The federal specification comes at a time when businesses and the federal government are pushing vendors for more efficient data center products.
A month after the Environmental Protection Agency issued Energy Star guidelines for servers, Dell is unveiling two system platforms that meet the federal criteria.
Dell officials are announcing June 25 that the PowerEdge 610 and 710 serverlines qualify for the new EPA Energy Star specification, which the federal agency put into effect May 15.
Daniel Bounds, director of enterprise solutions in power and cooling for Dell, said the vendor was the first to offer entire platforms that meet the criteria and qualify to carry the Energy Star logo.
Well done to Dell for it’s new R610 and R710 servers meeting the EPA’s Energy Star program for servers.
The EPA rating for servers will continue to be something which is either fantastic, or doesn’t go far enough, regardless that the scheme exists, that the debate on energy efficiency and that innovation continues remains important in moving towards a more energy efficient infrastructure reducing our energy costs in doing so.
The rating is a star, we now need to move the debate onto the next generation data center, where we start moving the infrastructure around the globe in line with our business requirements, whether it’s the IT infrastructure following the sun or the IT running in the cheapest operational and environmental cost.
