Trends of Energy Saving in Data Centers and Fujitsu Group's Approach

Tackling global environmental issues is a major challenge for ICT companies. The Fujitsu Group considers it an ICT company's responsibility not only to work on reducing the CO(2) emitted from its plants, but also to help reduce the CO(2) generated by ICT devices through their own energy-saving measures, and to utilize ICT to reduce CO(2) in all fields of society. The greater volume of information used by the Internet has unavoidably led to data centers consuming more power. Therefore, data centers must become more energy-efficient to reduce the load that the whole of society places on the environment. The Fujitsu Group has introduced a number of technologies to improve energy efficiency at data centers. These include technologies to conserve energy at its facilities such as efficient air conditioning, lighting and power supplies, as well as energy-saving ICT devices including servers, and technologies to integrate and virtualize ICT infrastructure.
