Rittal, a leading system provider for housing and enclosure technologies and IT solutions, has joined 'The Green Grid' organisation. This consortium of information technology companies and professionals seeks to lower the overall consumption of power in data centres around the globe. The Green Grid is committed to developing generic platform-neutral standards, measurement methods, processes and new technologies to improve energy efficient performance of global data centres.
Membership of The Green Grid is open to those companies and information technology professionals with an interest in helping to support the movement to improve data centre power consumption, and improve overall efficiency. Membership of The Green Grid includes for example IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Dell, AMD, and Intel. Members collectively believe that energy efficiency in data centres is the most significant issue facing technology providers and their customers today. They attribute this to exponential increases in power and cooling costs over the past few years, as well as customer demands for concentrated computing outpacing the availability of clean reliable power in many areas around the world.
"In research, product development and our present range of solutions, we are aiming at increased efficiency of secure voltage supplies and consumption, in particular with our scalable systems for UPS and cooling in data centres. This is of strategic importance for us," stated Bernd Eckel, Rittal's executive vice president IT. "We decided to join The Green Grid in order to make our own contribution to greater environment-friendliness in IT. We, like The Green Grid, are concerned with the continuous development of high-level technology," Bernd Eckel added.
