Green Storage Question & Answer With Industry Expert, Tom Wright

They are very extensive since computer products for a data center in their totality still use a significant amount of power and cooling. It has improved greatly from 40 years ago when I started in this business; with new low-power chip technologies, higher density storage devices and more efficient power systems but the amount of data that needs to be processed and stored continues to grow in step or ahead of these improvements such that it is like 2 steps forward and one step back…then one step back again.

This is an issue that needs constant attention by technology developers of all disciplines to just keep up with the growing trends in data processing and management.
