Energy Star for Servers Coming Soon?

Friday Jan 05, 2007

Non-bloggers wonder sometimes why read other people's blogs when you can just read the news.  Well, case in point.  I completely missed an important story over the holiday had I not read ddnotes today.  

CNET has a story on December 26 that is quite interesting, since Sun is a leader in this space when it comes to energy-efficient servers and has been working with the EPA.

In a letter to computing-industry representatives Thursday, the federal agency said it "is initiating its process to develop an Energy Star specification for enterprise computer servers." Energy Star certification is a voluntary program identifying products that meet EPA-set efficiency requirements.

On the Hot Seat

Monday Nov 27, 2006


I am just returning from my turkey comatose.  I shared my green list with a few others and everybody so far likes the idea.


Meanwhile Dave Douglas, Sun's vice president of eco responsibility, was featured in the Boston Globe today.  Concurrently, he  also has a very interesting blog post on the long green tail -- in other words, that small things we do do matter.
