Data centers growing energy consumption
It is believed that if data centers are left to grow at the rate that they are, the energy used could double over the next five years or so. This would cost billions of dollars every year, in fact it is estimated that if the consumption of power if left to grow as it is, then around ten new power plants would be needed.
The only way around this is for data centers to become greener, which is why there is an organization called Green Grid which is working to find ways of saving energy ideas for data centers.
There are many ideas, which include standards, equipment and the way local authorities can help in this matter.
