• Grow a Greener Data Center makes the business case for greening data centers, and presents technologies, design strategies and operational approaches that can help any company improve the energy efficiency and "eco-friendliness" of their IT facilities.
• Alger’s techniques save hundreds of thousands of dollars a year in energy costs, and cover all the bases of the server environment—cost-effective water and conservation, recycling, and e-waste management.
“Sometimes it seems like there is too much information out there on the latest flavor of Green, and this book is the first I've seen that organizes it all in a highly relevant and contextual manner,” said Rob Aldrich, Principal Solutions Architect, Energy Management. “This is a must read for anybody who is trying to figure out how to be more Green in their data center operation.”
