According to IDC, energy costs will consume up to one-third of IT budgets. Tape backup helps reducing power consumption.

The cost of energy, which was once a small contributor to the overall cost of doing business, has grown into a major portion of overall corporate budgets. At the same time, the data generated and consumed daily by companies has grown exponentially, while the need to store that data has been driven both by corporate business needs and government regulations, like Sarbanes-Oxley. In fact, storage is estimated to be growing at an alarming rate up to 60 % annually, according to an article on Storage.ITWorld.com.

This white paper discusses how using tape backup, a "Zero Power" medium, as part of an overall data storage solution can reduce power consumption, driving energy costs down while simultaneously strengthening an overall backup and archival strategy.

With these energy savings, companies will also be contributing to the larger global initiative of reducing CO2 emissions and saving the environment - whether they have this goal as part of their corporate mission or not. IDC says, for every server removed from the data center, approximately 11.4 tons of CO2 emissions are eliminated.
