Going green is a combination of technology, measurement and management. Until recently, those three elements were scattered across multiple vendors, which forced data center managers to integrate dissimilar technologies in an attempt to create a more environmentally friendly data center. Eaton has a different view on the green situation. The company is asking IT professionals a simple question: Why not start at the power outlet level and work from there? Naturally, Eaton has an answer to its own question. The company's 5PX uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is designed with green technology in mind. Here, eWEEK shows how the Eaton 5PX can simplify data center management, while offering a way to save power and money.
