Green Life

Energy Star ratings for servers had been released, but it does not go nearly far enough. As a start, it doesn't cover blade servers, blade servers are at the core of virtualization projects, which can save dramatic amounts of energy and money. And the other problem is that the Energy Star specifications measure server use when the server is idle. The agency is currently at work on a Tier 2 specification which will measure server energy use when a server actually does work.
