June 1, 2007 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Technological engineering leader Emerson (www.emerson.com) announced on Friday that it has joined The Green Grid (thegreengrid.org), a non-profit consortium dedicated to advancing energy efficiency in data centers and business computing ecosystems. It is the latest company to join the organization after last week’s newest addition, Digital Realty Trust.
Emerson will participate in The Green Grid as a contributing member through its Emerson Network Power business, which it says is the global leader in enabling Business-Critical Continuity and offers a range of power, cooling and service solutions for data centers and other critical facilities.
Emerson Network Power will work closely with The Green Grid’s members, like Novell, 365 Main and Rackspace Managed Hosting, to develop meaningful operating standards, measurement methods, processes and new technologies to improve energy efficient performance of global data centers as the demand for computing power continues to rise at an accelerating rate, says the company.
“The Green Grid provides an ideal forum for industry leaders to come together and discuss new approaches to increasing energy efficiency, while promoting and building upon best practices and recognized successes,” says David Farr, chairman, president and CEO of Emerson. “With our active membership in this important industry consortium, Emerson has a new platform for sharing our proven experience and joining forces on energy efficient solutions that will have a broader impact across the industry than any single company could accomplish.”
Emerson was recently invited to speak at Cisco’s Data Center Day multi-city tour.
