Saving Energy in the EU
Are you aware that the energy consumption by data servers in the EU is comparable to the energy required to operate 8 nuclear power plants? In this day and age in which we seek to reduce the human footprint on the globe, this amount of energy is mind boggling. A necessary focus of our technology and effort should be to reduce this consumption through developing methods of maximizing the efficiency of data servers in high demand networks.
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:
consolidating and virtualizing the server’s infrastructure modernizing the city’s network the use of a virtual desktop infrastructure for the city employees consolidating the printer environment
Strongly recommended were the use of redundant server infrastructure and the Sun UltraThin Clients SunRay, creating the virtual desktop infrastructure. Comparisons were made between the old infrastructure and the new infrastructure by the use of Windows performance monitor. The employment of these modernization techniques resulted in an overall Bad Soden am Taunus municipality IT energy consumption reduction of 61%.
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.
