High energy prices are making the cost of running a company's technology operations skyrocket. In a recent Forbes article, Bob Worrall, chief information officer at Sun Microsystems, offers some advice on making some top-to-bottom improvements to green data centers, and improve efficiency and cost effectiveness.

As he explains, "Sun has seen power savings of more than $1 million annually, and the company avoided $9 million in construction costs. At the same time, compute performance increased 450% while using 88% fewer rack positions. The numbers make the most compelling story. The total return on investment of greening the data center--both financially and environmentally--can no longer be ignored."
