"According to IDC research, the energy expense – power and cooling – associated with the worldwide server installed base represents $32.6 billion – a number that has been increasing steadily over the past five years at a rate of approximately 31.2%.  In fact, over these same five years, server energy expense has outpaced the server market both in terms of revenue and units," said Jed Scaramella, Senior Research Analyst, Servers & Energy Efficiency, IDC.  "It therefore stands to reason that from both a business and environmental standpoint, reducing data center energy utilization must become a priority to individuals, corporations and governments alike."

"We at Viridity Software are deeply committed to this goal.  We recognize that our actions around environmental responsibility, or lack thereof, have an impact on the world today and on the generations to come," said Mike Rowan, Founder and CTO of Viridity Software.  "We are therefore extremely proud to report that the majority of our customers tell us that they have indeed been successful in overall energy reductions of between 25% - 30%."

Earth Day has been designated an official company holiday at Viridity Software.  Employees have been given the day off and encouraged to pursue Earth saving activities.
