A Greener Government Data Center
Around the world, more data centers than ever are going green. By using technology and practices that minimize power consumption, like virtualization, federal data centers can take the lead in these sustainable efforts.
Network-based virtualization can help to significantly lower power consumption by reducing the number of physical storage and network devices used. Instead of deploying separate devices for each department or application, you can deploy a single device that behaves as if it were multiple devices.
Additionally, these virtualized devices can be dynamically commissioned and decommissioned—which allows your organization to utilize finite resources more conservatively.
Virtualization provides savings in hardware, energy, cooling, space, and more. It also frees up taxpayer dollars to pay for unfunded mandates, and helps align IT more closely with your organization’s mission. Browse the resources below to find out how you can reach your environmental goals through thoughtful use of your data center resources.
