SANTA CLARA, Calif. August 21, 2007 — As part of the company's
ongoing commitment to greening its global operations, Sun Microsystems
today publicly unveiled three active, new datacenters in
Santa Clara, California; Blackwater, U.K.; and Bangalore, India.
The Santa Clara datacenter is the largest of the three datacenters at
76,000 square feet. Phase One of the Santa Clara project began with a
hardware consolidation and refresh project that took three months,
increased compute power by more than 450% and is expected to save $1.1
million in energy costs a year. Accomplished in an aggressive 12
months, Phase Two involved designing the Santa Clara space and
installing the new hardware. Sun estimates that Phase Two will yield an
additional 30% savings in energy costs. Silicon Valley Power, a local
utility company, has recognized the breakthrough efficiencies and
design of Sun's Santa Clara datacenter by giving Sun nearly $1 million
in rebates and awards.
