DEVENTER, Netherlands, October 22: Green Data Systems, today announced it has joined The Green Grid, a non-profit consortium dedicated to advancing energy efficiency in data centers and business computing ecosystems. The Green Grid is the first industry initiative chartered to take a holistic view of the computing ecosystem, with a focus on addressing the pressing issues facing data center users.
"Green Data Systems is focused on meeting our data center customers' requirements. That's why it was imperative to join The Green Grid and actively work with like-minded companies to meet future challenges around improving energy efficiency," said Wessel Graatsma, CEO Green Data Systems.
"Coupling the strong green partnerships we have with our business partners as Hitachi Data Systems, Brocade, CommVault, Plasmon and Quantum, and the value add we offer to our customers in the channel this is our next step in advancing the larger industry effort around energy efficiency in the data center."
The collective viewpoint of The Green Grid members is that energy efficiency in the data center is the most significant issue facing technology providers and their customers today. This situation is not only due to exponential increases in power and cooling costs over the past few years, but also because customer demand for concentrated computing is outpacing the availability of clean reliable power in many places around the world.
