BANGALORE, INDIA: Hitachi Data Systems Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hitachi Ltd, today announced the setting up of eco-friendly and power-efficient data center.

The data center is designed to achieve a 1.6 PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) rating by the Green Grid, the lowest power usage index of any data center in its class.

Located in Yokohama, Japan, the new data center brings together the collective product innovations of the Hitachi Information and Technology Systems Group (ITSG) companies including industry-leading storage systems, server and networking equipment.

This architecture is designed to offer the highest levels of energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions by 20 per cent, while also lowering IT management costs.

“IT organizations need to take a holistic approach and carefully examine how every facet of their data center can play a role in improving their environmental impact—and lowering escalating power consumption levels. By leveraging Hitachi green technology, this breakthrough data center architecture provides a best practices approach for driving better efficiencies and utilization in customer environments,” Yoshida added.
