General information about "Green IT"
"According to IDC's Asia/Pacific Green Poll conducted in January 2008, approximately 47 percent of organizations in Asia Pacific including Japan will be formally assessing their data centers with the goal of reducing power consumption in the coming year."

Here is an article that talks about Green DataCenter in general. It's interesting to see the estimated data center power consumption.
"the study goes to project that, based on current trends, worldwide server consumption from 2005 to 2010 would require an additional capacity equal to more than 10 additional 1000 MW power plants."
And the simple improvement the author suggested? "Don't forget to turn off the lights when you leave the office at the end of the day." It's the same simple idea this Citrix PowerSmart Project is based on.
