Does "green data center" refer to having more greenery around your data center site? No, definitely not. It means reducing your carbon footprint by making effective usage of the core center of your organization -- your "information assets." Being green requires an end-to-end, integrated view of the data center, according to Gartner, including the building, energy efficiency, waste management, asset management, capacity management, technology architecture, support services, energy sources and operations.
