Green General monitors the energy efficiency of your data center.
A green data center is designed for maximum energy efficiency and minimum environmental impact. Building and certifying a green data center or other facility can be expensive up front, but long-term cost savings can be realized on operations and maintenance. In today’s world, green has been such a big topic in data centers. Projects regarding performance optimization and cost reduction are big parts of everyday practices in nearly every business. Data centers are looking for ways to cut their carbon-footprint, or become more energy efficient. Saving energy is saving money. The primary way to bump up the energy efficiency is to increase performance per watt of power used. A data center can use ten times more power per square foot than standard office space, and therefore even minor efficiency improvements in data centers can account for substantial savings.
