It appears that only big
enterprises are keen to adopt long term IT plans. Mid size and small players
are focused on ‘Jugad’ practice. They do not use standard hardware in their
data center that can save their electricity. Bigger players whose businesses
are entirely dependent on the uptime of data center have adopted the green
practices.
Most of the Indian
organizations have to wake up and graduate to the next level to modernize their
data center and adopt the green norms. It is important that even mid size
players do also play a role in moving to the greener environments. It will help
them by cutting their power bills.
Organizations have to
move beyond the incremental changes and look at all aspects to rebuild their
data centers. Many of the organizations
are taking this trouble out of the premise to the experts hosting their data at
the third party data centers.
Organizations are
losing significant amount of money on their running data centers which can
otherwise be saved. It appears that the matter needs thought not just from CIOs
but from the senior management or CEO. Only the top management can reduce the
gaps that exist in various departments. Often CIOs are not able to communicate
the benefits of a technology to their bosses. Since CIOs do not pay the
electricity bills, they tend to ignore this fact. However, it is an important
aspect and needs attention.
