Neu-Isenburg, Brussels, Deventer, August 26th 2008 –
Green Data Systems announces today to start her START SAVING program..
For many customers the reduction of IT energy usage and the environmental impact has become top priority. To support IT Partners with their objectives Green Data Systems developed the START SAVING program. In this program Green IT Strategies can be implemented and measured. The program is a platform for IT Partners; for IT Resellers and vendors.
Energy costs and climate impact are increasingly important issues in data center planning. Gartner predicts that by 2011, suppliers to global enterprises will need to prove their ‘green’ credentials by an audited process
The START SAVING program is part of the Green IT Provider Program. This new program is based on the GREEN SCAN of Green Data Systems. Without relevant insight into the IT infrastructure, it is difficult to know where savings can be achieved or whether environmental policies are being observed. Our GreenScan supplies this insight, supporting green initiatives and cost savings alike.
The Green Data Systems GreenScan collects data on the enterprise IT infrastructure in a matter of days and enriches it with energy consumption and other data. Using GreenScan, you can:
· Visualize energy consumption by machine, department or subsidiary.
· Identify out-of-warranty equipment to replace with low-energy alternatives.
· Identify opportunities for consolidation and virtualization and the potential energy savings that will result.
· Identify systems not adhering to green policies, such as nightly shutdown or duplex printing.
· Evaluate, compare and benchmark departments or subsidiaries along ‘green’ criteria.
The program is supported by the website: www.startsaving.eu
