Planning and Building a Green Datacenter

The recent momentum behind the “green movement” within the data center community interjects a new consideration into the design and planning process of data center facilities, but the challenges of making data centers greener also opens up opportunities to make these facilities better support a company’s business goals.

Quote from the white paper:
Understanding the elements that you can control is a key to this process. By asking the right questions about those elements that you can control, you will be able to make common sense decisions about how to plan, design and operate your data center in a manner that meets your business goals and your green goals. And this process will also allow you to achieve those goals without needing to employ dubious methods of ecological “slight of hand” such as the purchase of “carbon credits”.
