Sun Microsystems has announced a suite of programs and solutions to help customers design more energy-efficient, eco-responsible datacenters while saving money. Among the tools announced are three Eco Ready Kits:
- The Sun Eco Assessment Kit provides a methodical approach to analyzing data center energy efficiency;
- the Sun Eco Optimization Kit helps customers optimize, consolidate, refresh, and recycle their hardware infrastructure; and
- the Sun Eco Virtualization Kit offers virtualization solutions that enable better asset utilization and datacenter energy efficiency.
In order to grasp the reality of these limitations, objective assessment is an indispensable tool in helping educate IT professionals as well as top-level management. Once organizations have a clear understanding of their power and thermal envelopes in the data center, then follow-on services such as optimization would become a no-brainer for the data center manager.
