Tuesday Jan 09, 2007

OK, so you care about saving money and care about the environment, but you still need that one "proofpoint" to convince your boss to go green and turn to a great company like Sun for your eco-responsible computing needs, while saving big money in the process.

Here's what you need - drum roll please: PROOFPOINTS.

Here's one:

Look no further than this article in Computerweekly about how important it is even the largest global banking groups in the world, like HSBC.

According to CTO Ken Harvey (shown below) HSBC says 6-7% of cost of running datacenters (sorry, datacentres) is going to power now where in previous years it was about 1%.

According to the article:

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.

Thanks for spotting, BM Seer.
