A recent survey by Bridgehead Software has found that N.American businesses are more worried about running out of power in the data centre, whereas, British companies appeared to be more concerned about the environment.
Bridgehead also highlights how moving data from a spinning disk onto a non-rotating tape or optical disk will reduce electricity bills. Companies are not fully taking advantage of this opportunity; for a real difference to be made an enterprise wide approach to archiving will need to be taken rather than a divisional approach where archiving is taking place for compliance and disaster recovery reasons only.
