Energy consumption is a large and looming issue in IT, and needs critical consideration in designing the datacentres of the future. Whether you believe these datacentres will be in the cloudy skies or not, businesses must take new approaches to significantly reduce the financial and environmental strain that server energy consumption is causing. read ways in which how energy can be saved http://cloudtechsite.com/blogposts/cloud-computing-opens-doors-to-save-energy.html

Over the long run (ten years or so) they may even identify the next areas in the Data Center to optimize and not only measure the outcome but influence it directly.
