Lean and Green
Seems like one of the mantras of 2009 was “Do more with less,” and that’s what going green is most often all about. Whether it’s greater energy efficiency or greater attention to recycling IT assets when they’ve come to the end of their useful lives, green was a big trend for the year. Energy efficiency made it an even easier sell because of everyone’s desire to save money in 2009.
And in spite of controversies around global warming, the move to go green in the data center is unlikely to abate anytime soon. Solution providers were no exception, as many customers looked to go green in 2009. Look for this trend to continue in 2010.
