Green IT
Just how green is your IT environment? A growing number of public and private sector organizations have environmental targets built into their policy statements, with IT organizations expected to comply. But measuring and assessing your carbon footprint - in addition to setting targets and demonstrating progress - can be difficult.
Virtustream’s virtualization and cloud solutions not only deliver a greener IT environment but also a measureable green IT Infrastructure. Our clients experience a 90% reduction in CO² emissions and a significant reduction in the disposal of internal IT assets.
Through the use of our xStream Advisor, a data collection and analysis tool, clients can realize a better understanding of what the environmental impact will be when virtualizing their environment and bringing it to the cloud. They evaluate how existing computing resources are being used, consider different cloud architectures and assess their carbon footprint in a pre-engineered, high-density environment.
Virtustream has also enacted a multi-phase program to improve energy efficiency and reliability of systems in our own data center facilities. This program includes installation of improved control systems, configurable cooling that utilizes “free” cooling, high-efficiency power systems, and building envelope modifications. Improvements are also being made in facility and operating standards to reduce environmental impact, including environmentally friendly finishes, materials recycling, and low sulfur fuel.
With deep expertise in VMware, Virtustream’s management team are industry leaders in virtualization for over a decade. Drawing from an extensive body of best practices, they can help you implement and deploy the right virtualization and cloud strategy--one that will make business operations not only cost-effective, but environmentally responsible.
Virtustream has won Europe’s coveted Green Information Technology Award, which recognizes those companies that have demonstrated innovation and drive in Green IT.
