Data Centers around the world are finding that they can realize substantial savings by discarding energy hungry email security appliances, in favor of a greener, software only approach to their email security challenges.
A recent Gartner study, quantified the savings that could be expected from the removal of a single server:
STAMFORD, Conn., June 11, 2009 — In the face of organizational budgetary cuts, there are seven effective ways enterprises can reduce costs in the data center during a 12- to 18-month period, according to Gartner, Inc.
"While responding to contracting budgets, IT managers are expected to deliver an ever-increasing level of service to users, and many are charged with showing tangible financial savings as part of cost-cutting measures," said Rakesh Kumar, research vice president at Gartner. "Significant savings can be made in the data center. For example, removing a single x86 server will result in savings of more than $400 a year in energy costs alone."
