‘Green’ Data Centers with Energy Saving Features

Todays data centers are being built with sustainable materials and they also need to show how government regulation and certification will affect them in the future. All the lighting, cooling systems and electrical and computer systems must be designed with maximum energy efficiency in mind with the least environmental impact. Virtualization software for instance with power resource management features will allow inactive servers in non-peak hours to be powered down, allowing workloads to be migrated to fewer servers while the others are on standby or in sleep-mode.
