Green Storage Initiative

Toward energy-efficient storage networking solutions

Green Storage Initiative (GSI)

The SNIA Green Storage Initiative (GSI) is dedicated to advancing energy efficiency and conservation in all networked storage technologies and minimizing the environmental impact of data storage operations.

The GSI’s mission

  • To conduct research on power and cooling issues confronting storage administrators
  • Educate the vendor and user community about the importance of power conservation in shared storage environments
  • Leverage SNW and other SNIA and partner conferences to focus attention on energy efficiency for networked storage infrastructures
  • Provide input to the SNIA Green Storage TWG on requirements for green storage metrics and standards
  • Provide external advocacy and support of the technical work of the SNIA Green Storage Technical Working Group

EPA Invites Storage Industry to Meeting; July EPA Meeting to Outline Energy Star Program for Storage Products

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will be hosting an in-person stakeholder meeting to review feedback on the ENERGY STAR Specification Framework document and to discuss initial plans for a Draft 1 specification.

The meeting is
scheduled for Monday, July 20, 2009, from 11 AM to 4 PM Pacific Time, at the Sainte Claire Hotel in San Jose, CA, in conjunction with SNIA's Technical Symposium.  Additional information and RSVP details will be distributed early next week.

Stakeholders are encouraged to submit feedback on the Specification Framework to Storage@energystar.gov no later than Friday, July 3, 2009.  SNIA is currently developing an industry response to the EPA; company representatives should engage SNIA in these document development activities for alignment and coordination.

The latest ENERGY STAR documentation is available for download at www.energystar.gov/newspecs.
