Texas Technology - Fall 2008 - (Page 5) www.hds.com/green/ Did you know you can reduce your storage costs—and help the environment? The pressure is on businesses to consider the impact that storage technology has on the environment. And it’s not hard to see why. A leading industry analyst, for example, has demonstrated that for every watt of machine power consumed, a staggering 1-1.5 watts is typically required for cooling. This translates into a heavy cost both financially and for the environment. It doesn’t have to be this way. At Hitachi Data Systems, we take this issue very seriously and have written a briefing paper—“Five Cost-effective Steps to Building a More Eco-friendly Data Center”—that will help you develop and implement a less costly and greener approach to storage. It will advise you how to: • • • • • Reduce data center hot spots Implement virtualization strategies Consolidate storage Deploy services to help design the right infrastructure Consider the environmental track record of your vendors Our own commitment to the environment Indeed, storage solutions from Hitachi Data Systems are designed to be both cost and energy efficient. “ITCentrix’s analysis of market-leading high-end storage solutions shows that for an I/O-intensive configuration of 134 terabytes, competitive solutions consume from 30 percent to 64 percent more budget for power, cooling, and space than comparably configured Hitachi USP Vs* using virtualization and dynamic provisioning,” said Dave Vellante, president and CEO of ITCentrix.
