Full article: IBM's Project Big Green Spurs Global Shift (9-Aug-07)

As part of Project Big Green IBM are consolidating thousands of servers (which will be recycled by IBM Global Asset Recovery Services) onto about 30 Systems z mainframes running the Linux operating system. This initiative will allow IBM to consume approximately 80% less energy and consequently save more than $250 million over five years. The consolidation project capitalises on virtualisation, and in addition to dramatically reducing energy consumption costs the initiative will enable IBM’s IT infrastructure to be more flexible to meet evolving business needs.
