We are entering an age where saving energy is almost as convenient as wasting it. According to an EPA report issued in August 2007, the energy consumption of servers and data centers has doubled in the past five years and is expected to almost double again in the next five years. As energy costs become a greater percentage of the IT budget (an IDC report, IDC Worldwide Server Power and Cooling Expense 2006-2010 Forecast, September 2006, projects that by 2010, 70 cents of every IT dollar will be devoted to powering and cooling devices in the data center), energy efficient IT will become a major priority. However, recent studies emphasize that organizations are not yet set up to manage energy efficient IT at an operational level.
