Project Big Green
Industry analysts agree that by 2010, power consumption in data centers will reach 70 percent of what's spent on the servers themselves. That's a lot of money—and a lot of energy use, with all the associated carbon dioxide emitted by such use. As the World's largest IT infrastructure supplier, builder, and host, IBM sees a special responsibility for improving the energy efficiency of data centers—for the benefit of the planet, our clients, and our company. To that end, on May 10th, IBM announced Project Big Green, an aggressive plan to invest more than $1 billion per year in green technologies, initiatives, and a roadmap for its clients to address the energy crisis in IT.
