Struggle
Companies are building larger data centers to keep up with demand for technology services to support business growth resulting in unprecedented environmental costs. In 2007, 19B kWh were used to power & cool the world’s storage resulting in 30B pounds of carbon dioxide emissions. Those numbers are projected to grow to 29B kWh and 44B pounds respectively in 2011. Organizations need to look at ways to curb this trend.
