Hi Team

The hits on the GO Green with ONStor survey just keep coming, even more
than a month later-it's going viral!  This one is from a regional IT pub
serving the mid-west with a circulation of 75K-DM Review.  They quote
the ONStor survey and report that according to Gartner, Green IT is the
number one strategic technology for 2008!

Green IT is Number One Strategic Technology for 2008

DM Review Online, November 5, 2007=20

November 1, 2007 - It is official - Green matters. The number one
strategic technology for 2008, according to Gartner, is Green IT. Green
computing can no longer be ignored and is already having an impact on
how IT groups budget and implement.=20

=20

Gartner designates a technology as strategic because implementing it
will make a significant difference in an organization's work.
Conversely, not implementing a strategic technology carries a
competitive risk.=20

=20

=20

Green computing is confronting many preconceived ideas around the
physical attributes of the data center. On the one hand, we read
articles about McData Centers the size of airplane hangars; on the
other, we see a struggle to run leaner, thinner and cooler data centers.
The challenge is finding a means to balance the astronomical growth of
data with the prospect of shrinking physical resources. The data
warehouse appliance is emerging as one means to achieve this balance.

=20

A survey by ONStor, Inc. summed up the current state of Green IT.
Although 63 percent of the 369 IT professionals said that running out of
space or power in their data centers had already occurred, 40 percent
said it had not prompted them to discuss green data center initiatives.
Instead, they must have viewed these events as standard operational risk
or requested more budget to purchase more generators or take over more
space. Indicators suggest that power and space constraints will indeed
become a standard operational mode if current practices do not change.=20

=20

The same survey, however, found that 60 percent said they had adopted
energy-efficient practices in response to these outages. Green computing
is clearly not a futuristic movement addressing a potential need. Green
computing is practiced now in order to prevent recurrences of power
limitations, to save on energy costs and to avoid construction, at least
in a small way, by many organizations.

=20

Replacing two boxes with one appliance that uses far less energy than
the two boxes combined makes for a convincing equation.
