The Green Data Center: Cutting Energy Costs for a Powerful Competitive Advantage

After an intensive study of server and data center energy efficiency for Congress, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reported that the U.S. data center industry is in the midst of a major expansion period spurred by increased demand for IT capacity to support business growth. IT management is responding by building more data centers. In recent surveys, 73 percent of U.S. senior decision makers surveyed said they were planning expansion in the next 24 months, while 67 percent of senior decision makers in European markets said they were planning to do so.
