Concrete, which has performed structurally underfoot for more than a century, is now emerging as a highly attractive, long-wearing, easy-to-maintain, affordable ﬂooring option. GREENING FACILITY DATA CENTERS: FINDING EFFICIENCY THROUGH SOFTWARE IMPLEMENTATION >> BY BRUCE NAEGEL Due to the rise of stored information, data centers are using more power than ever as cost-perwatt is climbing and environmental regulations enforced by the government grow. Consequently, more and more facilities are finding that software can help them better manage data storage and growth and reduce hardware power consumption and cooling needs. ■ To help improve power supply efﬁciency, data centers can leverage low-power servers and standby power management software. >> Photo courtesy of Symantec Corporation. 12 S U S TA I N A B L E F A C I L I T Y NOVE M B E R 2008 http://www.SustainableFacility.com http://www.SustainableFacility.com http://www.SustainableFacility.com http://www.SustainableFacility.com/CDA/Webinars http://www.SustainableFacility.com/CDA/Webinars
