For data centers, going green is now as easy as 1-2-3. UK-based Gaiasoft International (www.gaiasoft.com) announces the availability of its GDC By Gaiasoft technology platform. The data center's greening process will be supported through the Green Data Centers Project, a dedicated service of Well Connected Enterprises, Gaiasoft's support partner in the US. Together, these companies provide a step-by-step process that gets a data center's greening process started quickly and effectively.

The GDC By Gaiasoft platform combines project management and collaboration capabilities within a framework designed specifically to support a data center's transition to positive environmental practices. The ready-to-go framework aligns data center operations around 'green' objectives, from the highest organizational goal to the most specific departmental task.

The starting framework is easily customized to the unique situation of each data center. It breaks operations into key areas of asset use and energy efficiency, by departments such as IT, facilities and others. It tracks operational, financial and environment impacts of each item considered as part of a greening project. It pairs overall goals with specific areas and owners to enable support and accountability at every part of the program. This approach provides easily-managed task clarity, progress tracking and accountability for every participant, at all times.

The platform's collaboration capabilities enable performance data and other information (such as plans, ideas, best practices, resources and project work ) to be reviewed, presented and shared with others at any level - local to global. All work conducted within the GDC By Gaiasoft environment is protected by Gaiasoft's unique patent-pending privacy capabilities. Now, a data center can plan, monitor, report, benchmark, find resources and share best practices with other GDC By Gaiasoft data centers worldwide if and as it chooses.

As users apply GDC By Gaiasoft capabilities, they have information and tools to work together more efficiently. They can easily learn from and support each other, discovering and sharing approaches that speed results or leverage existing resources in new ways.

The result of this approach is an organization that as a whole, and within each of its parts, knows where it is at any point in time relative to its goals and opportunities and can easily get help to move beyond stumbling blocks.

Support for GDC By Gaiasoft is provided by The Green Data Centers Project, a service of Well Connected Enterprises. Through this project, data center users receive dedicated, expert start-up and on-going support to help them gain the greatest advantages of their 'greening' work.

The Green Data Centers Project staff provides action plan design, framework customization consulting, technical support and technical development services as well as user training, helpdesk services, collaboration facilitation and resource exchange assistance. The Project encourages the world's best thinking around green data center operations to be shared with others for practical results and rapid success nationwide.
