Nearly three quarters of respondents to
Symantec’s
worldwide Green Data Centre report indicated an interest in adopting a strategic
green data centre initiative, but only one in seven have been successful at
implementing such a policy.
Mark Bregman, chief technology officer at Symantec, said: “Data centre managers
are running out of space and energy costs are rocketing. So they are motivated
to implement green data centre initiatives for cost reduction and efficiency
purposes. It is beyond environmental concerns; it is about meeting business
goals and reducing costs.”
Respondents noted that, while energy efficiency is a priority, it must be
balanced with business needs. The study found that software is the top strategy
for creating energy efficiencies. Some 51 per cent and 47 per cent of
respondents indicated plans to consolidate and virtualise servers respectively.
