In the ever looming economy, the need is imminent to the improvement of corporate computing efficiencies and cutting costs. It has been the center of attention during the Storage Networking World Conference recently. The data center requirements are growing by 55% every year and the hard disk drive capacities are just growing 30% in a year. They are trying to come up with solutions to the space limitations, high power cost and other technological choices. Green storage is also being brought up and was a big theme in the recent event. Cost of storage power and storage cooling neans a lot when going Green! And a lot of companies are taking measures to rise up to the challenge of going environmentally friendly. The solution possible to cut the cost of storage and cooling is calculated considering certain factors like temperaturem, alternative energy use for the data center, layered storage, consolidation and solid state storage.
