Saving money going green with T2000
Tuesday Jan 09, 2007
"Power is now 6% to 7% of datacentre costs compared to 1% a few...years ago,” Ken Harvey CIO of HSBC.
So HSBC is looking at a variety of ways to save money, one of those is implementing with the Sun Fire T2000.
-
"Any savings on power consumption will have an immediate financial gain for the bank. HSBC is rolling out Sun T2000 servers, which are said to deliver up to three times the throughput at 30% less power and cooling costs compared to alternative server hardware."
It is important to note that at high utilisation and with lots of memory the Sun Fire T2000 out-distances the Woodcrest-based systems and others by a lot, see previous blog entries on that in this "Wattage-Power" category.
Expect more news on the Sun Fire T2000 later today...
