Bangalore: Going green turns out to be more cost effective measure in IT industry. In a recent poll conducted by Hitachi Data Systems, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hitachi, and the provider of Services Oriented Storage Solutions, an astounding 83 percent of the respondents stated that going green results in cost-savings, while 17 percent believed that that green measures are not necessarily cost efficient.
The online poll was conducted in conjunction with the ongoing Hitachi Data Systems IT Inspiration Awards that recognize and reward the best in technology deployment from across the Asia Pacific region. Open to all members of the public the awards website (www.hds.com/apac/itia) features snap polls on issues concerning the storage industry today, the results of which provide insights on the industry.
Hu Yoshida, VP and CTO, Hitachi Data Systems estimates that storage hardware accounts for approximately 25 percent of all power consumed in the data center. There is a clear environmental impact of the growing data burden and inefficient storage management and systems and cutting back on storage's power consumption can lower energy bills significantly resulting in cost savings.
"As environmental issues continue to escalate IT budget discussions, impact data center designs, and shape corporate social responsibility, there needs to be a closer linkage between the IT department and facilities planning. The IT manager has traditionally been focused on scalability and performance when making his purchasing decision leaving the facilities manager to worry about space and energy requirements. Organizations need to take a holistic approach and carefully examine how every facet of their data center can play a role in improving their environmental impact and lowering escalating power consumption levels," said Natarajan Viswanathan, Vice President and Managing Director, India, Hitachi Data Systems.
