Terremark Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ:TMRK), a leading global provider of
managed IT
infrastructure services, today announced IDG’s Computerworld, the
leading source of technology news and information for IT influencers
worldwide, has selected it as one of the Top Green-IT Organizations for
2010. This honor is part of the IT media outlet’s annual Top Green-IT
Organizations feature, which was published in the October 25 issue of
Computerworld and online at Computerworld.com.
For the third year in a row, Computerworld set out to identify
organizations that are implementing smart, efficient strategies to
achieve "green IT.” Organizations were invited to complete a
comprehensive questionnaire online from May to July. Computerworld then
applied a set of criteria, developed with the help of green-IT industry
experts, to identify the organizations that are working to reduce energy
consumption in IT equipment and are using technology to conserve energy
and lower carbon emissions.
"At Terremark, we continue to pursue ways to maximize energy efficiency
across our global footprint of data
centers so that we are able to limit our environmental impact while
also reducing our own operational costs,” said Manuel D. Medina,
Chairman and CEO of Terremark. "We are very proud to be recognized for
the second straight year for our energy-efficiency efforts, which extend
from the world-class datacenters we operate to the innovative products
and services we provide to our government and enterprise customers.”
Terremark utilizes various energy-efficient methods across its global
data center footprint to reduce its power consumption, including
hot-aisle/cold-aisle air segregation, computational fluid dynamics
modeling (CFD) and employing rotary uninterruptible power supply systems
(UPS). Along with implementing innovative power conservation strategies
in its world-class data centers, Terremark’s suite of industry-leading
cloud computing offerings and virtualized products provides customers
with reliable, enterprise-ready solutions for their IT infrastructure
needs while minimizing their environmental impact.
"Many of the organizations recognized in our third annual Top Green-IT
issue have already plucked ‘low-hanging fruit,’ such as reducing travel
with teleconferencing or buying Energy Star-rated IT equipment,” said
Scot Finnie, editor in chief, Computerworld. "These top organizations
are truly stretching now, exploring innovative new ways to apply
technology to reduce energy consumption. They know that achieving
green-IT isn’t a one-time effort; they’re in it for the long haul.”
