Sun Microsystems

With today's focus on climate, global warming, energy consumption, and renewable resources, the successful "Retailer of the Future" will have to develop a strong eco-friendly image, and the IT department will have both a commercial and an ethical responsibility to identify how they can reduce the energy consumption of the organisation.

Sun Microsystems is an innovative leader in the IT industry, developing servers, storage, software and services with an ongoing focus on Sustainable Computing.

Sun enables businesses to improve their energy efficiency through:

• ten-fold lower-power servers in the data centre
• maximising utilisation of existing IT servers and storage
• 4 watts, not 140 watts, on the desk-top
• desk-top systems that have a 10+ year lifespan, not the 2-3 years of a PC
• recycling of old technologies
• mobile technologies that facilitate working from home
