Thinking Eco-Logical to drive sustainability, efficiencies, and cost cutting measures in the data centre
I recently had the opportunity to participate in this survey and become part of their advisory board. The efforts of the group in simple terms are to further the cause of sustainable computer systems.
The general theme is one of overwhelming desire to reap the combined benefits of a smaller footprint along with the commensurate costs savings, but a general sense of not being quite sure where to begin.
The key is that there is a desire and a need, and this effort represents one small step towards ever more thoughtful growth in data centres and computer systems.
