The Green Grid Consortium Addresses Energy Efficiency in Data Centers

Today, February 26, 2007 - The Green Grid consortium announced the completion of its formation, membership structure, technical charter, and made available three white papers.

The consortium also announced its Board of Directors, comprised of AMD, APC, Dell, HP, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Rackable Systems, SprayCool, Sun Microsystems, and VMware.

Who seems to be missing at this time from the Green Grid consortium:

- Google, who presented a white paper in September 2006, “High-efficiency power supplies for home computers and servers”.
- Power supplies manufacturers, such as Delta, Astec/Artesyn, Lite On, etc. should be also interested in joining the efforts to reduce energy losses.
- 80PLUS organization that did a very good job in promoting highly efficient power supplies.
