Achieving energy efficiency in the data center

Everyone wants more computer power, denser performance and faster processing for meeting customer demands and operational needs. But all those wants require lots of power, and the more power the greater the need for efficiency. It's not the sexiest tech topic to focus on, but investigating ways to keep energy costs down can go a long way to drive economic efficiencies. Find out how some big names, including Fidelity Investments and bank titan Wachovia, are growing data centers while keeping electric and cooling costs down. The mechanisms include everything from realigning grid server project tasks to harnessing idle PC power within the enterprise.
