To help customers save energy and improve data center efficiency, Sun is introducing three Sun Eco Ready Kits. The kits include assessments, services and offers to help customers achieve eco efficiency and cost savings.
"The environmental and economic impact of increasing power and cooling in the data center is a major concern to our customers. Sun's Eco Services Suite is designed for customers who want to make cost effective changes to their data center operations, which can boost efficiency by up to 20 percent," said Jeya Kumar, senior vice president of the Services Group at Sun. "The time to reduce our impact on the environment is now; what's good for business is good for the environment."
The Sun Eco Assessment Kit
Analyze datacenter energy efficiency with a combination of assessment services for systems, storage and data center infrastructure. The Sun Eco Assessment Kit is designed to give datacenters a "physical exam", uncovering inefficiencies and building corrective action plans for eco-friendly computing.
The Sun Eco Optimization Kit
Optimize, consolidate, refresh and recycle hardware infrastructure while taking advantage of special offers on Sun systems, storage and services. Upgrades are available on Sun Fire servers, UltraSPARC IV+ and Sun SPARC Enterprise servers, combining utilization and reliability in platforms to protect current customer investments.
The Sun Eco Virtualization Kit
Achieve better asset utilization and data center energy efficiency with the Sun Eco Virtualization Kit. This offering centers around the Solaris 10 Operating System (Solaris OS) and its virtualization capabilities such as
Solaris Containers, which enables companies to securely run multiple software-isolated applications on a single system, in order to consolidate applications onto fewer servers.
