Green Data Centers – Because We Don’t Have Planet ‘B’!
It is a cold hard truth that the greed of the mankind has taken its toll on our mother planet in more than one way. On one hand where the chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are depleting the ozone; on the other, the ever-increasing carbon emission has disrupted the climatic balance of the planet. Even though the global adversities we have managed so far are self-evident enough for the world to wake up and do something about the relentless human voracity eroding the world of its grace, not many of us are even conscious about the gravity of the situation we have on hands.
Regardless of the global concerns, companies are making every possible effort to minimize their operational expenses, with one of the widely used solutions being data centers. Although data centers do promise a remarkably cost efficient housing solution to the companies with the need to store large volumes of data, the emission caused by the earlier generation of data centers posed as a grave threat to the ecological balance of the earth, and soon attracted the attention of various environmentalists, which was subsequently followed by warnings for their abolition.
Owed to the efforts of the TIA (Telecommunications Industry Association); the body governing these facilities, data centers have become a lot eco-friendlier. Secure Green data centers, as they are referred to, are the latest breed of data centers and cause minimal emission as compared to their predecessors. Upon assessing the warning by the environmental institutions, the TIA has made several changes to the construction guidelines prescribed for the data centers, and successfully managed to make them a lot less hazardous for the ecological balance without hampering their efficiency.
Green data centers serve the purpose of conventional data centers minus the environmental damage. All leading data centers in the league of the revamped ones offer multi-level data storage option to let their clients opt for just the right kind of environment for storing data with diverse criticality. However, here it is worth a mention that L4, the securest data storage level offered by the leading data centers are usually reserved for storing data from military and defense programs and hence, may not be an option for the common clientele.
To encapsulate, if you are looking for a reliable data center services provider, it is extremely important to ensure that you opt for green data centers only; after all, we don’t have a planet ‘B’! more….
