HCL assesses green quotient of enterprise data centers

HCL Technologies unveiled its Green Datacenter Services featuring a unique Datacenter Green Quotient Assessment Framework.
The launch took place during Computerworld's Green IT Symposium, September 17-18, 2008 at Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center, National Harbor, Maryland, where HCL is participating as a Platinum Sponsor.
HCL Technologies' suite of Green Datacenter Services will help enterprise IT organizations reduce their companies' environmental impact through assessing, planning, and implementing green initiatives around their DC environment.
A key highlight of this offering is HCL's Green Datacenter Assessment Framework, which helps enterprises find out the environment friendly status of their data centers.
Commenting on this theme, Anubhav Saxena, Associate VP—Business Development and Customer Advocacy, HCLT ISD said, "Data center is the heart and headquarter of all IT activity and hence from the perspective of sustainable IT, achieving energy efficiencies within the data center is key to a successful green IT policy. We at HCL recognize this enterprise imperative and have therefore built a unique suite of services, which offer 360-degree solutions for data center greening and seek to provide cost savings to the tune of 20-30 percent in DC operations. We are privileged to have given the opportunity to display our capabilities at an esteemed event such as this."
