IBM, HP, Sun and AMD have united to launch the Green Grid (www.thegreengrid.org), a non-profit global consortium which aims to cut energy consumption at computer data centres by encouraging and improving power-saving measures. The alliance says that energy efficiency in data centres is the single biggest issue facing technology providers and their customers today. As a result, it has released three White Papers that directly focusing on cutting energy use. These include:
- The Green Grid Opportunity,
- Guidelines for Energy Efficient Data Centers, and
- The Green Grid Metrics: Describing Data Center Power Efficiency.
