Full article: Companies keen on green but hazy on strategy (5-Sep-07)

A recent survey conducted by Digital Reality Trust found that 55% of large North American companies have developed a green data centre strategy, with 80% out of those implementing strategies that cover not only hardware, but also the facility design and operations as well. However, interestingly the survey also revealed that 73% of companies said they weren’t entirely sure what constitutes a green data centre; this can be explained partially by the fact that there are no clear standards on green data centres.

In addition to this, the survey found that only 25% of respondents said that their company required its data centre vendors to have a green strategy, this is likely to be due to people choosing to use a supplier based on the lowest price or best service.
