The rising costs of electricity, rolling brownouts, and the ugly possibility of power surcharges from service providers all mean that enterprises will eventually be at risk of becoming “energy poor.” Given these economic and environmental factors, enterprises must plan to reduce electricity consumption in the data center and across the network.

Enterprises can accomplish this by looking at the following:

• Rightsizing the power infrastructure
• Practicing intelligent energy conservation
• Adopting energy-conscious purchasing habits

Higher electricity costs are shrinking operational budgets. Target the power infrastructure of the data center as an area for cost savings.
