Fujitsu joins The Green Grid
http://www.itnewsonline.com/showstory.php?storyid=12098&scatid=8&contid=2
Fujitsu Ltd. announced that it has become a Contributor Member of The Green Grid, the first Japanese company to take a leadership role in the global consortium dedicated to advancing energy efficiency in data centers and business computing ecosystems.
The membership will help to promote Fujitsu’s initiatives to improve the energy efficiency of its data centers and its server and storage products, and support its overall environmental goal of preventing global warming through the reduction of IT-generated carbon dioxide emissions.
Very cool, Fujitsu joining The Green Grid should further innovation in the green message both in terms of the energy efficiency as well as the business benefits. Implementing energy efficient solutions can be a real enabler to your business, for example virtualization of the server estate not only allows a more dynamic infrastructure, abstracting the application from the hardware, it is also typically more energy efficient, considering that one midrange rack server or blade server might easily replace four or more virtual machines dependent on their configurations and application requirments.
