In a Global Economy, it pays to Protect your Greatest Assets. Changes you can make to save energy, money, and the planet in 30 days:

  • Adjust the thermostat set point to 77°F (25° C) per ASHRAE standards¹
  • Identify and turn off unused machines (typically 8-10% of machines)
  • Use Sun Eco Assessment Service to fix air flow problems
  • Enable power management features where available (PowerNow, SpeedStep)
  • Refresh old servers; use trade-in and rebate programs to help pay
  • Refresh disk technology (replace <70GB drives with >500GB)
  • Move old data to tape (tape provides 20x-200x more TB/KW)

Save energy, save space, and save money in just a few weeks!
