HP Supports Senate Energy Efficiency Legislation
Statement by Paul Perez, vice president,
Storage, Networks & Infrastructure, HP
For Immediate Release: July 19, 2006
“Hewlett-Packard applauds Senators George Allen (R-VA), Jeff Bingaman (D-NM)
and Barbara Boxer (D-CA) for introducing yesterday legislation S.3684 that
directs the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to conduct a study analyzing
the rapid growth and energy consumption of computer data centers by the
Federal Government and private enterprise.
“HP urges the US Senate to pass this bill promptly. The House of Representatives
already overwhelmingly passed the House version, HR 5646. It is imperative in
today’s world of rising energy demand and costs that measures be taken to
increase cost-effective, energy efficient technology.
“HP is unique in addressing the energy conservation demand through using an
approach that improves customers’ ROI by enhancing the energy efficiency of
their data servers. HP’s approach includes evaluating a customers’ environment
and then taking into consideration the multiple variables and needs of that
customer to provide the most cost-effective and environmentally sound solution.
HP recently announced its BladeSystem C-Class will deliver 40% higher energy
efficiency than a comparable number of discrete servers.
“As a founding member of The Green Grid, an open global organization whose
goals are supported by the EPA and which seeks to decrease IT datacenter
energy consumption, HP looks forward to working with both Congress and the
Administration to encourage and advance the innovation of energy efficient
technology.
“HP urges the U.S. Senate to support and pass Senators Allen, Bingaman and
Boxer’s legislation, S.3684. HP looks forward to working with Congress, the
EPA, IT industry leaders and end-users through The Green Grid to preserve and
increase our nation’s energy efficiency.”
