<![CDATA[Servers suck up their fair share of power, and cooling systems often suck up even more to keep the data center climate under control. Green computing measures can help bring this energy consumption under control and save significantly on the bottom line. Intelligent power management for desktop computers and waste reduction for printers can also generate savings that offset the costs of green investments.<br/>   -   Video Content....]]></description>

<![CDATA[Data center power consumption continues to rise. And as such, the cost for electricity to power and cool equipment is shooting through the roof. With the worsening economic climate, there is great interest in reining in these costs. Increasingly, organizations are turning to intelligent power management systems that allocate electricity dynamically to save money and reduce waste.  These systems collect real-time information about data center equipment power consumption, utilization rates, and temperatures. Having this information, managers can then optimize the use of electricity and cut their power costs.<br/>   -   Video Content....]]></description>
