Green (data center) initiatives are not a fad, it is a corporate responsibility

If you believe some people’s statements achieving LEED certification, a sub 1.2 PUE, and carbon neutral are the definition of a Green Data Center.  But, within this same data center you could have huge wastes that impact the environment.  Being green requires a constant monitoring and asking the question “what could I do better?”

FieldView Solutions has a press release on its being one of 200 companies being selected for GoingGreen Global 200.

FieldView Solutions Named GoingGreen Global 200 Winner
Company Recognized for Creating New Opportunities in Green Technology

EDISON, NJ, Sep 20, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- FieldView Solutions, a provider of industry-leading Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) software -- and recent recipient of venture-led funding -- today announced that it has been chosen by AlwaysOn as one of the GoingGreen Global 200 winners. This year's winners were selected from among thousands of domestic and international greentech technology companies nominated by investors, bankers, journalists, and greentech industry insiders. The AlwaysOn editorial team conducted a rigorous three-month selection process to finalize the 2011 list.

I like David Schirmacher’s quote.

"Instituting green initiatives is not a fad, it is a corporate responsibility for every organization -- specifically within the data center industry, notorious for energy inefficiency," said David Schirmacher, CSO, FieldView Solutions. "FieldView Solutions works with some of the largest global data center managers to help them optimize and maintain energy efficient facilities via a real-time view into their operations. We are honored that investors, bankers, journalists, and greentech industry insiders selected FieldView as a GoingGreen Global 200 company."

The list of 200 winners is long with many data center related areas.
