Teterboro, New Jersey – August
2009 - Computer
Design & Integration LLC, (CDI) shares a wealth of best practices
for applying Green IT strategy in the data center with the September
2009 release of a new book, “Foundation of Green IT – Consolidation,
Virtualization, Efficiency and ROI in the Data Center.”
“Foundation of Green IT” was written
by CDI Chief Technology Officer Marty Poniatowski and the IT services
company’s other experts in server and desktop consolidation and
virtualization, and power and cooling design. While some statistics
suggest the average data center is only 30 percent energy efficient,
CDI shows businesses real ways they can buck this trend by applying
mainstream information technology, and power and cooling technology.
The lessons shared are based on real-world case studies from CDI’s
15 years in the data center business.
“There’s a lot of talk about green these days,
but Marty takes us from ideas and ideals to actions and accountability,” writes
Marie Hattar, vice president of marketing for Cisco Systems Inc.,
in her early praise for the book. “Information Technology
(IT) might only account for two percent of the earth’s carbon emissions,
but its ability to have broad impact well beyond IT is huge. This
book gets us thinking and acting in the right direction.”
CDI’s
strong alliances with leading technology suppliers in virtualization,
core network infrastructure and storage consolidation, including
Advanced Power Conversion Corp. (APC), EMC Corp., VMware Inc. and
Cisco Systems Inc., are key to its practical perspective on Green
IT.
“Green IT is compelling for a variety of reasons,
including all of the savings that businesses can realize in the
areas of power, cooling, and floor space,” says CDI’s Poniatowski. “In
2009, no one embarks on a new project without a quick ROI, so we
have made sure to touch on that theme extensively. The Green IT
philosophy is part of all the technology services we offer in the
course of day-to-day business at CDI, so every section includes
practical information about which we are industry experts.”
Prior
to joining CDI, Poniatowski spent 20 years as a principal solution
architect and published author with Hewlett-Packard Co. “Foundations
of Green IT” is broken into four sections: Server
consolidation projects; backup, recovery and archive design; improving
network component efficiency; and how IT industry trends such as
cloud computing could impact corporate data centers.
