Sun Sets Up Green Datacenter in India, US, UK
As part of its commitment to greening its global operations, Sun has unveiled three active, new datacenters in India, California and the UK. Put into operation between January and June of this year, all three datacenters were reportedly built using breakthrough designs and next-generation energy efficient systems, power and cooling.
Sun estimates that the company's datacenter efforts will save the planet nearly 4,100 tons of carbon dioxide per year and trim 1 percent from Sun's total carbon footprint. It is also set to reduce the company’s energy Bill by 60 percent and garner nearly 1 Million dollars in utility rebates and awards.
"There are many projects, big and small, that businesses can begin today to make a difference. It doesn't have to be complicated and the ROI can be larger than you'd imagine," said Dave Douglas, Vice President of Eco Responsibility for Sun Microsystems.
"New standards in datacenter design and management are not only good for the environment, but they are also good for a company's bottom line," said Sun Microsystems CIO Bob Worrall, who is responsible for reducing Sun's corporate datacenter energy usage by 20% in fiscal year 2008. The Santa Clara datacenter is the largest of the three datacenters at 76,000 square feet. It was completed to two phases and is expected to save 1.1 million dollars in energy costs a year.
Through its efforts in California, the UK and India, Sun has reduced 267,000 square feet of datacenter space worldwide into approximately 133,000.
"Most CIOs don't even see an energy bill, which makes little sense given that datacenters can consume a significant portion of a company's total energy draw. By working together, CIOs and CFOs can direct their efforts to successfully squeeze 'green' into - and out of - the datacenter," added Worrall.
The three new datacenters run on Sun's Sun Fire T1000/T2000 servers, Sun's x64 servers and the Solaris Operating System.
