IBM to further its Green Sigma Consulting service
The first involves the creation of the Green Sigma Coalition to integrate IBM’s Green Sigma consulting service with the products and services of several big-name partners. A second project will take aim at the development of tomorrow’s lithium ion batteries.
IBM unveiled its Green Sigma consulting service last summer to address environmental impacts of a company’s operations, ranging from the data center and office facilities to retail space and manufacturing plants. The service is based on the Lean Six Sigma management strategy.
The company will incorporate the service with the products of other charter members of the newly formed Green Sigma Coalition, which includes Johnson Controls, Honeywell Building Solutions, ABB, Eaton, ESS, Cisco, Siemens Building Technologies Division and Schneider Electric. The coalition will give customers a range of expertise to tackle energy and water consumption, waste and carbon footprint.
IBM will also embark on a long-term research program that will focus on next-generation lithium ion batteries for use in electric vehicles while also lending support to smarter power grids. The batteries have the potential to store 10 times the energy as today’s batteries.
Anything IBM can do to help with the carbon footprint of the data center has to be a good thing for the end user community in terms of best practice and choice in assistance with data center strategy and design. I’m off to read up more about their Green Sigma service, I’m hoping this might further the discussions that are already taking place and further innovations and best practice within the data center carbon footprint space to help reduce our environmental impact and operations costs simultaneously.
