Lodi News

The computer servers that keep Lodi running will soon get a boost of both safety and energy savings, under a federal grant aimed at lowering energy consumption.

Lodi’s City Council members are set to vote Wednesday on whether to spend $205,000 in energy grant money on 12 new servers that will replace 40 current ones. The new servers are many times smaller, meaning that they put out less heat, but they hold more information.

The equipment will cut the current cooling and power consumption use by about two-thirds, said Steve Mann, manager of the city’s information systems division.

It’s always great to see how organizations are improving their IT to reduce energy requirements and cost and at the same time to see illustrations that sometimes little changes can make a big difference when it comes to your energy requirements and operating costs, an interesting read do check it out.
