IBM (ibm.com) pronounced on 18th June 2007 that Web hosting provider AISO.Net (aiso.net) has completed a data center consolidation initiative using IBM technology resulting in a 60 percent reduction in overall power and cooling costs associated with the company's IT operations.
AISO.Net, known as the first and only 100 percent solar-powered Web hosting provider, worked with IBM and Sirius Computer Solutions to overhaul its data center and implement a high-end, scalable technology infrastructure solution based on the IBM Cool Blue portfolio that will help the company better serve its dedicated and shared hosting clients.
"AISO.Net's success in optimizing its data center is an excellent example of the work we are doing with clients through IBM's recently announced energy efficiency initiative, called Project Big Green," said Rich Lechner, VP of IT optimization for IBM. "The $1 billion industry commitment that we launched in May 2007 to help our customers become more energy efficient, combined with our ongoing drive to help clients virtualize more and manage less, is resulting in outstanding, real-world examples like AISO.Net."
