• Energy Efficiency - The Green Tide Is Coming: Pressure Builds for an Energy-Efficient Data Center
  
  It’s safe to say that most companies, if presented with hard numbers on their energy consumption and efficiency, would be surprised and maybe even shocked to discover what they spend on energy, including how much they waste and the impact of overuse of the environment. But in fact, many companies don’t know how much they spend on energy and have no idea of their level of efficiency or how to begin an energy assessment. Often, even who pays the utility bills is a mystery.

• Strategies for solving the datacenter space, power, and cooling crunch
  
  Sun has undertaken a project to restructure its own datacenter space worldwide, resulting in reductions in datacenter real estate of up to 66%, decreases in operating expenses of up to 30% — and the ability to avoid the cost of building new space. Sun has made these strides through an innovative approach to datacenter design — one that’s available to customers through a comprehensive set of service offerings. This paper summarizes the advice that Sun has to offer.

• Energy Savings in the Datacenter
  
  Fine tune your datacenter environment to maximize energy efficiency and reduce operating expenses while maintaining a high availability environment. Carbon footprint and greenhouse gas generation are directly related to energy utilization in your facility. Whether designing a new facility or re-evaluating your existing space, Sun has the experience and solutions to help you achieve your goals without affecting hardware availability.

• The Datacenter of the Future can Rise Up Anywhere
  
  As your company grows over time, so does your datacenter. And through the business cycles of expansion, contraction, spin-offs, and acquisitions, your datacenter landscape can start looking increasingly complex. If you’re not prepared for it, this complexity can breed real-estate and technological inefficiencies, higher operating costs, and a host of issues that puts serious pressure on budgets and resources.

  In 2004, Sun began an effort to get its mission-critical datacenters, communication and server rooms, and labs that were rife with duplication and inefficiency under control. Sun tasked its Global Lab and Datacenter Design Services team to reorganize and consolidate to reduce costs.
