Full article: Finding the Economic Green in Green Computing (18-Sep-07)

Mark Monroe, director of sustainable computing at Sun Microsystems, recommends data centre managers to shut down all servers if they are unsure on the function they serve. It has been found that idle servers use nearly as much power as if they were active; hence leaving them switched on is a huge waste of power.

A further method to easily save power and cooling costs over the long term is by turning the temperature up slightly; raising the thermostat by just one degree can save about 4% on cooling energy across the board.
