“Increasingly, we’re seeing companies developing IT strategies that
are both environmentally sound and good for business. Additionally,
The Green Grid initiative is very timely. For example, as more and
more next-generation IT systems take advantage of multicore chip
architectures to access compute resources as a shared network service,
enterprises should be able to drastically cut overall power consumption,
which both helps the environment and lowers total cost of
ownership.”
-Vernon
Turner, Senior Vice President and General Manager, IDC
