Enterprise data centers need to be much more energy efficient. Most
experts agree that to achieve this, Facilities and IT organizations
must work together very closely. But how do you overcome the
complexity, habits, and functional silos that make improving energy
efficiency such a difficult task?

communication and cooperation between IT and Facilities, drive shared
best practices through the entire data center operation, and

Facilities together in the effort to reduce data center energy
consumption.
