16-09-2009 Business Green: Fujitsu points way to greener datacentres

Excerpt from the Business Green website:

Fujitsu Laboratories of Europe has extended its green datacentre strategy with the launch of new technology designed to help firms gain greater insight into the energy use and carbon emissions associated with their datacentres.

The company's Total CO2 and Value Analysis solution, launched at the European Technology Forum event, has been designed in collaboration with UK government-backed advisory body the Carbon Trust.

Based on a simulator built with support from the Carbon Trust, the technology takes into account software, delivered services and physical infrastructure to enable an "holistic analysis" of energy use and carbon emissions, according to Fujitsu.
