• Energy efficiency is a growing part of business efficiency.
• A green data center can meet growing data volume and increasing processing demand while managing escalating resource costs.
• An efficient, green data center can help your company reduce costs and comply with legal and regulatory requirements.
• Green initiatives benefit your brand image, increase positive public opinion, and improve your bottom line.
