HP offers quality notebooks that allow work forces to stay productive no matter where they are. data centers will struggle to meet power demands. Already, energy spent cooling a data center may equal or exceed the amount of energy used for computing. HP invests significant resources into developing data center solutions to meet this challenge, looking at technologies that range from more efficient processors to high-tech cooling systems. Virtualization technology also plays a significant role in improving data center energy efficiency, according to John Whitesell, who is in charge of adaptive infra1 HP recommends Windows Vista® Business. efficiently, resulting in fewer processors to power and cool. Whitesell said that two to three years ago, operational cost and space constraints most often drove server consolidation efforts. “Now a critical issue is power and often cooling that’s related to power,” he said. “Virtualization can help IT departments reduce the number of servers by as much as 75 percent. You reduce the hardware by getting rid of a lot of unused and unneeded capacity in a lot of individual servers.” HP has been working to solve the problem of heat generation and to provide cooling solutions for more than 10 years—and those efforts have paid off. The company developed a sensor network that works on the racks and helps monitor heat at the source so resources can be allocated accordingly, enabling more precise energy management solutions. Now, HP Blade Server enclosures come equipped with the sensor technology to manage heat production and power consumption.

The company began devising solutions to ease technology’s environmental impact when technology was a relative novelty, recycling even bottles and cans required a trip to the grocery store and most Americans’ concerns about energy consumption were based on gas shortages that caused long lines at the station. It was back in 1981 that HP began refurbishing and selling used equipment, which now operates worldwide and is known as the HP Renew program.
