"The number of spinning disks in external enterprise storage continues to increase every year, and there is a cost beyond just acquiring these disks the cost to power and cool them. IDC estimates that in 2007, the cost to power and cool the world's installed base of external enterprise storage exceeded $1 billion. It is not easy to predict the exact cost of electricity in the future, but it is easy to anticipate the direction up. Fortunately, there are options for companies that wish to become 'greener' in their use of enterprise storage."
