Are You an Accidental Environmentalist?
A recent survey by solution provider Logicalis found that a whopping 86% of IT managers make decisions based on saving money rather than on helping the environment. On first blush, that doesn't seem to be good news for green IT. In fact, though, it's very good news, because those money-saving measures are generally good for the environment as well.
The survey found that almost 88% of respondents have either used virtualization technologies, or plan to do so in the next year. And about 85% have already consolidated and reduced their server count, or plan to in the next year.
Virtualization and reducing server count are two of the easiest and most effective ways to reduce energy consumption and green a data center.
The end result? Most IT managers are accidental environmentalists. By tending to the bottom line, they're greening their data center as well.
By the way, Logicalis has a free online tool for figuring out potential energy savings in your data center using virtualization. Sure, it's a sales pitch, but it's useful as well, so you might want to give it a try.
