Here at Storage-IT Solutions we believe in a comprehensive approach to going green, a combination of virtualization and data-management infrastructure features can help your business attain a distinctly green environment.

Below are a list of technologies that we can provide to help your business on it’s way to a green environment:

1. Server & Desktop Virtualization
   

2. Enable the ability to reduce the physical server & desktop footprint in your data-center and office facilities, thus reducing the amount of powering, cooling, and electrical output you need to run your business
   

3. Storage Virtualization
   

4. Provides the ability to obtain optimal utilization, and in doing so reduce the overall storage subsystem footprint inside your facilities, again reducing the power, cooling and electrical footprint in your environment.
   

5. MAID and Auto-MAID (Massive Array of Idle Disks) Technologies
   

6. Enables the abilities to spin the disks drives down completely, as well as the option to unload the drive heads and slow the drive down.
   

7. Typically found in VTL and Disk-Based Backup solutions, however we can deliver on both VTL MAID and Transactional System MAID, thru the benefit of the strategic partnerships we have made.
   

8. Physical Tape Solutions
   

9. Believe it or not Tape infrastructures still do exist in many environments, as it enables a business to use less cooling, power, and electrical resources.
   

10. DeDuplication and Compression Features
    

11. These features enable a business to remove redundant data from the backup and archival stream, along with compression removing the white-space from files and data-sets. With the addition of these features inside of VTL, Disk-Based Backup, and Archival Systems it again reduces the power, cooling and electrical footprint of the IT landscape.
    

12. RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) Compliance
    

13. Most vendors that have to sell in Europe have complied with the RoHS standard which determines the amount of hazardous materials that may contain in the physical hardware (Like Mercury, Cadmium, Lead, Chromium etc.)
    

Remember going green isn’t all about the reduction in power, cooling, and electrical resources, but also about various compliances, and the proper waste and removal of equipment.
