A typical server costs $2,000/year in energy and cooling costs. You can reduce total energy costs significantly by launching a Green IT initiative. But how do you start and then keep track of your Green IT project?
Gathering the relevant data to kick start a Green IT effort is time-consuming and error prone, as it requires detailed information for every relevant device – what it is, what its specifications are, how much power does it typically consume. BDNA does all this automatically – and through unique Green IT content. BDNA for Green IT jumpstarts your green IT efforts, delivering results in weeks that can have a long-lasting impact on your carbon footprint and bottom line.
