Consolidation for Efficiency

By Kazu Oda

The computer has changed the way we live in every way. From the way we get our groceries to the way we transport ourselves place to place.

The time has come for business owners and city administrators to move forward; take a proactive step into the new realities of the world we live in. The time has arrived for a viable solution to the storage space we need for our information goods. Enter Sun Software.

Sun Software is all about efficiency. Amazing products that will save you money and energy are their specialty. Their servers have been tested and proven in real world usage. A few examples of what they have to offer are:

The servers that hold and distribute all of this information are the focal point of that energy requirement. The amount of hardware necessary to store this information and the energy it takes to cool these systems are the main culprits. Solutions are needed. As we find ways to reduce the hardware necessary to store all of our information, we will also reduce the energy it takes to cool these servers and save ourselves money while reducing our impact on the environment.

There are products and techniques in use right now that are achieving great success in doing just that. Let's have a look at one of them.

One technique is the employment of Virtual Desktop infrastructure. A product that achieves this is VMware View. This portfolio of products allows IT to run virtual desktops from the data center giving the user personalized desktop views from whatever device they choose to use, from any location.

This greatly reduced the amount of space needed for storage by updating old hardware with new products that maximize CPU and overall performance specs. STRATO's success was the combination of consolidation and energy efficient upgrades.

Many more case studies can be viewed at http://efficient-servers.eu/ for more information and opportunities to support this project as we continue to develop technology toward a more energy efficient IT future. - 22787
