Energy bills can be significantly lowered by cutting storage’s power consumption; in addition to this making more efficient use of storage space can lead to a lower spend on storage in the long run.

In Asia “green storage” has not reached the same level of pervasiveness as in North America and Europe. However, Asian companies have been seen to move towards this area, and there is a common thought by most Asian IT shops that adopting more environmentally friendly storage solutions makes good business sense.

It is thought that for enterprises to go truly green there is a need to make an investment into management as well as into a less power hungry infrastructure; hence IT managers need to develop an information lifecycle management strategy.
