What is Eco-Logical?

“Eco-Logical” addresses both the environmental side (Eco) of IT sustainability imperatives and the pragmatic side (Logical) of proper business management. Through a new strategic approach of combining both green and fiscal thinking, Eco-Logical simultaneously satisfies social responsibility and bolsters business value. By engaging in green IT best practices, such as purchasing energy efficient servers, organizations can achieve IT sustainability imperatives through reduced power usage and bottom-line benefits through significantly reducing costs.

Think Eco-Logical is a milestone thought leadership initiative that seeks to educate enterprises and organizations on how to combine environmental concern and commitment with rational and intelligent business management. The program explores sustainable IT best practices to achieve server optimization and a more ecological data center simultaneously, without increasing costs.

Through original content, assembled insight, and contributions from leading industry influencers and experts, Think Eco-Logical has created a reservoir of intellectual capital for organizations interested in implementing green servers and managing a more energy efficient data center. The program advocates and demonstrates that IT departments can realize new levels of data center sustainability through reduced power usage and optimized facility utilization while achieving substantial bottom line benefits.

SGI, the leader in built-to-order high density and power efficient server and storage solutions, is teaming with Intel, the Global Renewable Energy and Environmental Network (GREEN), and the Business Performance Management (BPM) Forum, to build an innovative program with a substantial and growing base of authoritative information to help guide businesses and address concerns around green data centers.

Think Eco-Logical will examine multiple vertical industries – starting with digital media & entertainment – that are grappling with mushrooming data demands in the midst of rising eco-pressure and operational costs.
