Giving credit where credit is due.... For those of you seeking inspiration early in the new year (or just proof that it CAN be done!), Data Center Knowledge has just posted an illustrated "guide" to seven of the greenest data centers in the whole wide world. What makes these facilities unique is that they have all earned a Platinum designation under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system.
I have written about the Advanced Data Centers facility in the past. What's really interesting to me is that they could only come up with seven sites to put on this list, proving that green IT takes patience and process.
