SunRay Power savings

Michael Jordan did an interesting posting today. He pointed out that utility cost make up for about 10% of a corporate real estate budget, about as much as property tax. It reminded me of something that some people may not raealize. SunRays save an enormous amount in utility costs. Instead of running a computer in my office all I have is basically a monitor. It makes no noise, it doesn't heat up the office and it uses a very small amount of electricity. Sun has more than 27,000 SunRays deployed which results in over $24 million saved annually. Of that $2.8M is electric power costs.
