Improved Energy Efficiency = Reduced Power Consumption = Lower CAPEX & OPEX CostsData center and facility managers typically have two things at the top of their performance plans: uptime and performance-two entities which they've preserved at all costs. Now there's another pressing concern: achieving energy efficiency in their facilities. If you're an internet magnate or Fortune 100 organization, you may hire an energy "czar" to promote corporate sustainability and hold the entire organization accountable for its energy use. If you're like the rest of us, where "doing more with less" is a daily reality, where do you turn? Detailed Data Center Assessment Chart
