Gartner: Ein grünes Rechenzentrum bedeutet mehr als nur Energiesparen

2)       Develop the site on a modular basis

3)       Include chillers and high-ventilation air conditioning units (HVACS).  Build all new large facilities with chilled fluid plumbing at the outset

4)       Introduce some recycling and alternative energy sources

5)       Put in monitoring tools 

6)       Manage the server efficiencies.  Move away from the ‘always on’ mentality and look at powering equipment down

Mr Kumar concluded: “In this way, data centres will become more energy efficient, be better for the environment and use emerging green IT products and processes.  In essence, this living organism data centre will be the green data centre.”

At Gartner Data Center Summit 2008, taking place 21-23 October in Amsterdam, Netherlands, Gartner analysts will help delegates master the challenges and overcome these hurdles of transforming infrastructure and operations (I&O) culture, prioritising and delivering projects, implementing best practices and modernising I&O technology and operations, and help deliver the agility and innovation their business needs. They will also provide their advice on where I&O leaders should focus their efforts to be highly successful and on the best practices to improve process, people, technology and business management. They will be joined by end-user case presenters and other industry experts to share their vision.  For more information, please visit www.europe.gartner.com/datacenter
