Server Consolidation White Papers

In a global economy it pays to protect your greatest asset

Overview Datacenters are a drain on resources - yours and the planet's. After al, the average datacenter's power consumption doubled between 2000 and 2005. Powering the network consumes 100 billion kilowatts of electricity and costs around $7.2 billion every year.

And soon, the cost of running a server could be more that the cost of buying one. It adds up to a huge impact on the environment - and your bottom line.

But at Sun, we know that what's good for the planet can also be good for your business. This whitepaper shows how the Sun Eco Innovation Initiative can make sense for your business - economically and ecologically.
