Your data center's energy costs are probably 10 to 30 times a normal office building's. IBM can help it get greener.

Lower energy costs, less carbon

Some estimates show that for every $1 of hardware in your data center, you may be spending 50 cents just to power and cool it.

New hardware and software solutions from IBM will help fix that problem, but your first step may be determining just how much of an energy hog your data center is now. Or you may be ready to build a new scalable, modular center that's got energy efficiency built in. Other moves you can make — to optimize the airflow for your cabling or to shift your cooling costs to off-peak hours — can reduce your energy costs and make your data center more environmentally friendly.

IBM services help you tackle your data center's energy consumption as it exists today — and make plans for where you want your business to be in tomorrow's greener world.
