Saving the environment

I like to think that we're all doing our part to save the environment. The idea of Green IT has only been in the mainstream for a few years but, due to companies' tightening budgets, has recently been gaining traction.

I am proud to work for a company like TNS as we represent all the technologies that you can use to successfully create a greener network environment. You can buy one or two beefy servers, load them up with VMware and you could load upwards of 20 production servers on one box. By adding VMotion you can ensure fault tolerance for those servers. You can use Citrix to set up successful telecommuting within your company. If you were to partner that with RSA and Fortinet, you could really secure that telecommuting. VoIP allows for further extension of that telecommuting with follow me and other virtual extension features.

To use a phrase that makes perfect sense here: The possibilities are endless...
Using all the technologies above and more, you can actively reduce your carbon footprint, decrease power consumption, save the planet one server at a time, and at the same time improve the TCO of your equipment as well as increase the utilization of servers within your environment. VMware estimates that, at peak performance, the average server is only 20%utilized.

The possibilities are endless...
