Unfortunately, they stop there and are unaware that their data center efficiency has suffered for the same reason that drove them to virtualize in the first place.

That wise prophet Kermit once said, ‘It’s not easy being green.’ Actually, it is, but you wouldn’t get that impression based on some of the ‘green solutions’ we’re seeing in the market. Isn’t the easiest way to reduce power and cooling to remove those things that create demand for power and cooling? Physical devices are the culprit here.

Turning down fan speeds, slowing CPUs, etc…these are nice tweaks that nibble at the edges but in reality, don’t address the root problem.
