Abstract

On August 1, 2007 the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) responding to public law 109-431 presented a 130 page report (plus 14 pages of executive summary and 67 pages of appendices and other supporting documents) to the US Congress addressing IT datacenter electrical energy consumption and associated issues. The EPA coonducted a series of webcasts on August 9, 2007 covering the report, its findings, recommendations and plans for moving forward. This is a synopsis of the EPA report to Congress with comments by the StorageIO group as to what the EPA report findings mean.
