In a recent <a href=\"http:\/\/whitepapers.datacenterknowledge.com\/whitepaper6924\/\">white paper from IDC <\/a>many companies are learning\u00a0that their data center offers a means to both abate GHG and reduce costs with the right incremental capital investments.<\/p>\n<p>The process of improving information technology and data center efficiency not only reduces GHG emissions but also reduces cost for the enterprise. This means that the savings or business value derived from improvements far outstrips the incremental capital costs of &#8220;greening&#8221; the datacenter. Green IT means business improvement. Firms that rank highest among the &#8220;Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World,&#8221; such as Amazon, Toyota, and Nike, have realized that focusing on limiting energy calories in the datacenter and elsewhere pays profitability dividends on the financial side. IDC research indicates that companies reducing their metric tons of carbon per datacenter workload by a factor of 55% also incurred 35% less cost per user session on a server.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.datacenterknowledge.com\/?ak_action=api_record_view&#038;id=18452&#038;type=feed\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, policy and business leaders are reaching a consensus that industry must address rising greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, particularly in the data center.
