Aug 21, 2007 : Sun Opens Green Data Center

📅 August 21, 2007 - Data center solutions provider Sun Microsystems (sun.com) announced on Tuesday that after 12 months of design and construction, it opens today its new, 76,000-square-foot data center in Santa Clara, California. Sun executives say the new facility will demonstrate its ability to deliver eco-friendly technology to its customers and demonstrate the company's commitment to green IT technology.

The company says the data center will use less electricity and more energy efficient, as well as showcases the latest innovations from the company to customers. Sun's services division, which the company has been looking to expand on in recent years, can provide potential customers with the same resources it uses in the data center.

By using servers powered by its UltraSPARC T1 multicore processors, also known as Niagara, Sun was able to make significant savings and reduce electrical costs. The company was able to cut down the number of servers from 2,177 to 1,240.

Sun reduced the size of the new data center from 200,000 square feet to 76,000 square feet, which will boost annual energy savings by approximately 30 percent over the older data center design and cut the company's annual electrical bill by $1.1 million. Sun engineers were also able to reduce the number of server racks the data center uses from 550 to 65.
