•White Paper: The Many Shades Of Green Storage By Juergen Arnold, SNIA Europe

Sometimes a topic or idea is discussed so much that it almost becomes a campaign; we stop questioning it and instead end up believing it.

There is certainly a good dose of proven facts behind this discussion, namely those that have turned green IT into a business-level concern:

  • new regulatory directives driven by the EU or by individual countries.
