Sun Ray in the Eco Innovation Initiative

    Sun has been innovating in technologies that are greener than traditional servers for a while now, and we are developing more value around them. This includes best practices, incentives, services, and highlighting some of those technologies that don't always jump out at you as energy efficient. As part of this Eco Innovation Initiative, it is not surprising that the Sun Ray technologies are right in the thick of things, as it were.

    Using around 4 watts at the desktop and taking advantage of efficiencies from multiple users on servers in the data center is just a start for the Eco friendly value of a Sun Ray solution. Use a Project Blackbox to locate your data center where there is inexpensive power, or better yet, where there is power from renewable sources close at hand, placing them in pre-existing buildings, etc, thereby re-using real estate. Be creative.

    Check out some of the other parts of this Eco Innovation Initiative, and see how much further you can take the power savings and other values of a Sun Ray solution, when implemented in conjunction with Sun's other innovations. Here is a link to the announcement on CNNMoney.com. It's cooler than cool (ice cold).
