Additional incentives for improving data center energy efficiency come in the form of the government?s proposed carbon tax legislation which will increase the cost of energy for businesses even further. With Executive Order 13423, federal agencies are also mandated to improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions.

To meet the needs of companies looking to slash their carbon footprint and gain energy efficiencies, BEAR Data provides one-stop shopping with services that encompass the entire lifecycle of their IT system — from assessment, planning and design, to implementation and operational services. BEAR Data combines its IT integration expertise with proven hardware and software solutions from industry leaders such as Cisco Systems® (NASDAQ: CSCO) for the infrastructure and VMware (NYSE: VMW) for the virtualization tools.

?There are a number of ways to green up your data center,? said Don James, CEO of BEAR Data Systems, Inc. ?It can range from simple server consolidation to using energy efficient servers and virtualization tools as well as cooling technology and techniques. Removing inefficient legacy servers can save up to $1,200 per server every year. That?s $300 to $600 in direct energy expenses and a similar amount in cooling expenses. Then,? he continued, ?by moving server-based applications into virtual machines on an energy efficient server, the match between the customer?s computing capacity and application workloads can be substantially improved. With a power management system installed, monitoring is also simplified and less time-consuming. The end result is the ability to do more with fewer machines.?
