August 8, 2008—Wikibon, the world’s first Web 2.0 technology research and advisory community, has introduced Conserve IT, a new service designed to assist IT companies and their customers qualify for rewards offered by Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E) for installing energy-efficient equipment.
Conserve IT is a service that accelerates the qualification of storage products for energy rebates and provides independent validation of energy efficiency for storage platforms from a number of leading vendors, spanning emerging Web 2.0 suppliers to the most recognized brands in the business.
Conserve IT was launched on behalf of IT customers in the Wikibon community who wanted to take advantage of the excellent programs PG&E and other utilities have put in place to conserve energy. The community felt that it could help to dramatically increase the participation of storage technologies which are major consumers of power and cooling in data centers. PG&E responded to Wikibon by allocating resources to help qualify additional storage technologies and providing guidance to the storage industry at large.
