Green Data Centre Best Practices Translated into Energy and Cost Saving

Data Centres come in different sizes - whether it's four servers in a closet or hundreds of servers in a building - they provide mission critical functions for most businesses. Meanwhile, Data Centres consume large amounts of energy and require the investment of significant financial resources to continue operations. In recent years, the Data Centre management professionals have begun to focus on ways to minimize energy consumption and overcome emission challenges. More importantly, the findings tell us that sustainable practices can be translated into financial savings.
