March 2008 - Data centre managers in the dark over power consumption

A significant number of data centre managers are unaware of what assets they have to manage in relation to their consumption, a Quocirca survey has found. Over half (55 per cent) of data centre managers are not aware of their monthly power bill costs, according to a new survey released today. And more than a third (35 per cent) of companies that have a carbon footprint reduction policy do not pass it onto IT as a formal objective, according the research published by Global DataCenter Management (GDCM) and carried out by analyst firm, Quocirca.
