February 11, 2009—IBM is working with Religare Enterprises Limited of India to build three energy efficient data centers for the financial services firm and help it reduce power costs by more than a third each year.
Religare Enterprises Limited, known as REL, is a leading financial services firm in India. It is planning for significant growth, and the data centers are being designed for enhanced efficiency as well as scalability to keep pace with the firm’s expansion.
Under an agreement announced this week, IBM through its Project Big Green unit is designing and building data centers in Delhi, Noida and Mumbai for REL. The facilities are expected to cut the firms’s power costs by as much as 35 percent a year and reduce consumption by 3,600 kilowatt-hours, which would amount to a $250,000 savings annually.
IBM’s Project Big Green launched in May 2007 to help the company’s global clientele increase the efficiency of their IT operations and optimize their data center resources. For more information, see the Web site.
