Here's a collection of resources to help you identify, measure, evaluate, and eliminate inefficiencies throughout your IT infrastructure. These are our best "green resources" to help you save a tree and save a buck at the same time.
Tools
Sun Power Calculators provide guidance for estimating Sun systems' real-world power consumption.
SWaP (Space, Watts and Performance) Metric
Calculate the impact that a system will have in your datacenter by accounting for its power, air conditioning, and space requirements.
Datacenter Reference Guide
A general overview on how to build an Eco-friendly datacenter applying Sun's best practices and energy efficient technologies. (PDF)
IDC Virtualization
Learn how virtualization can be used as a tool for consolidation as well as a means to reduce space and power requirements, and more recently, a way to bring business continuity to more of the organization's IT infrastructure.
Sustainable IT: Good for Business and the Environment
Learn more about trends in sustainable IT and how Sun is committed to building energy-efficient products that are smarter, safer & more environmentally responsible. (PDF)
The world's first virtualized datacenter is 20 percent more energy efficient than traditional datacenters. It's even water-cooled to eliminate the need for air conditioning. And it's portable.
Eco Solutions Briefs
Read about the products and technologies behind the successes.

Energy Efficiency Strategies: Sun Server Virtualization Technology
Virtualization technology is a key to transforming an IT organization's server, storage, and network devices into a shared, global pool of resources. This can help reduce space, power, and cooling requirements.
Greening our Datacenters
We are working hard to make our datacenters smaller and more energy-efficient so that they will emit less carbon and cost less - without compromising compute capacity or security.
And we are sharing the knowledge we learned in this process with you through interactive tours and solution briefs.
