We received some terrific news last week. CA Technologies was named the ninth "greenest" company in America, in Newsweek's just released 2011 Green Rankings – up from 46 last year. And last month, we were accepted to the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes (both the Global and North America indexes). Needless to say, I’m over the moon! It’s been very gratifying as it validates that the commitments we've made to sustainability are paying off and being recognized (while at the same time, we know just how far we can still go.) As you may know, we are committed to being a trusted source of information for our employees, sustainability leaders and green team members in other organizations, and business people looking for insights into...

The power outage last week in the RIM Slough Data Centre in the UK has brought the Blackberry operator a litany of bad press. The apparent failure to monitor power on the failover switch circuit has led to a chain of events which has resulted in three days of service downtime or delay for some Blackberry customers. The RIM share price has fallen as customer confidence in BB fell too. This failure highlights how power supplies to data centres may appear to be a local issue, but can now have global consequences for business services. A rethink of operational power management and service assurance is required to prevent a bottom line operational issue impacting global top line revenue and brand reputation. CA Technologies encountered a similar...

Anyone reading the Cloud and Data Centre press in recent weeks and months will have see a recurring theme of power. Power outages, power costs and power supply. Google has disclosed the energy consumption of its global estate, whilst Amazon has admitted to not knowing the reason behind a recent power outage in Dublin resulting in Microsoft offering an account credit to its customers. There is clearly public interest in how companies run their IT operations efficiently whilst maintaining uptime and availability. These three stories are the ones which have become public whilst power remains a hot topic behind closed doors. The cost of running IT services has long been based on space, hardware, software and people. The variable cost of power was...
