IBM Data Centers can Reduce Energy By 50 Percent
IBM has announced the launch of the second phase of Project Big Green (PBG 2.0) in India and also introduced new modular data centers, that, it said, can reduce energy consumption by as much as 50 per cent.
Under the programme, IBM is introducing new products and services to help enterprises build greener technology infrastructures that can meet growing business requirements, senior officials of the company said. The energy-efficient data centers launched are designed to power businesses ranging from large enterprises to small organisations, IBM said.
The modular range of data centers includes Portable Modular Data Center Data Center (PMDC), Enterprise Modular Data Center (EMDC), High Density Zone (HDZ).
The PMDC provides a fully functional data center in a pod-like form with a complete physical infrastructure including power and cooling systems and remote monitoring while the EMDC is an enterprise class data center "shrink-wrapped" and standardized from 5,000 square feet up to 20,000 square feet. Lastly, the HDZ is a modular system that provides incremental cooling and power capability in existing data centers that are tapped out of capacity.
“As Indian organizations eye high growth in their business, they want to be more conscious and efficient in the manner they consume and pay for energy,” said Steve Sams, Vice-President, Global Site and Facilities Services, IBM Corporation. “With the launch of the second phase of Project Big Green, clients in India will have access to some of the most advanced green technologies and services for their data centers.”
The second phase of this project comes one year after IBM launched Project Big Green and committed USD 1 billion globally to deliver technologies that help clients dramatically increase the level of energy efficiency in their data centers. With Project Big Green, last year, IBM introduced unique offerings like Scalable Modular Data Center (SMDC) in the Indian market.
