Glasshouse to help with green data centers
IT consultancy Glasshouse Technologies has launched a new service to help organisations get a green bill of health for their data centres, making them both more cost effective and energy efficient.
Earlier this year, Glasshouse launched a managed service to help companies control their virtualisation infrastructures, as well as optimise return on investment (ROI). Now the company has launched what it is calling the “Energy Proficiency Impact Analysis (EPIA)” service, targeting assets in the data centre and server rooms.
In essence, the EPIA consists of two invidual services. First there is the Green Proficiency Analysis (GPA), which provides a current state analysis and offers recommendations on how to achieve a more efficient, greener IT environment based on metrics and standards established by The Green Grid. The second service is the Cost Proficiency Analysis (CPA), which used in conjunction with the recommended improvements, shows the ROI and financial savings that can be achieved from the changes.
“A good portion of our business has been about going into people’s data centres, helping them optimise and reducing risk,” said Mark Shirman, CEO of Glasshouse. “We have been doing that for several years, but I started to look at reducing power and cooling needs, and thought it would be nice to capture the carbon saving figures as well.”
I was reading up on Green IT and found this article talking about Glasshouse announcement in the data center energy efficiency space. It’s something I suspect that’s going to be talked about more, with enterprises increasingly interested in the data center not only in terms of their IT, but their operating costs and corporate social responsibility – the carbon neutral data center or business.
