Rising electricity costs, new legislation on climate change, and increased environmental awareness are all factors driving organizations to carefully evaluate the energy consumption of their IT infrastructure. Choosing energy efficient IT products and strategies can dramatically reduce rising electricity bills, and improve operational efficiencies while developing environmentally responsible corporate policies.
Plasmon’s Green Archival Storage report takes a close look at the energy consumption and carbon footprint of archival storage solutions from EMC, NetApp and Plasmon - with some very surprising results. There are dramatic differences in energy costs and carbon emissions between the three vendors. This report illustrates how the choice of archive technology can have a major impact on budgets and the planet.
