Green IT hasn’t typically been associated with cost savings. Schemes to positively impact on the environment can be viewed as unnecessary in times of economic uncertainty, when streamlining operations and cutting costs is of paramount importance.

But reducing power requirements through server virtualisation or consolidation projects is no longer a ’nice to have’ green initiative. It’s essential. Analyst firm Gartner said that nearly 50% of data centres worldwide are facing increasing difficulties in finding the electricity they needed to power – and cool – their equipment. And even if they can find the power, organisations which currently spend 4-8% of their IT budgets on energy may find their costs rising as much as fourfold within the next five years. In the current economic climate, reducing these costs is imperative.

Furthermore, tax breaks mean that, as well as helping to save the environment, businesses that practice green policies can save money – and may also be eligible for interest free loans of up to £100,000.
