The Green Grid Expands Operations to Asia with New Presence in Japan

Extending its IT energy efficiency advocacy, the Green Grid, a global consortium dedicated to advancing energy efficiency in data centers and business computing ecosystems, has announced the formation of two new Japan Work Groups as well as a formal relationship with The Green IT Promotion Council. With initial operations in Japan, these steps are designed to expand the organization’s presence to Asia as the organization responds to strong industry and government demand.


The Japan Data Collection and Analysis Work Group will report to the Technical Committee of the Green Grid and will be chartered with collecting and analyzing data from The Green Grid’s (News - Alert) Japanese member companies, according to The Green IT Promotion Council President Tsutomu Handa.

“The Green IT Promotion Council welcomes this partnership with The Green Grid. The Green IT Promotion Council recognizes global warming as a crucial challenge that must be taken on immediately, and we believe that epoch-making technological innovations will be necessary in order to harmonize our economic and social activities with the global environment,” said Handa.

The group will also ensure that consortium recommendations are suited appropriately for Japan-based organizations. The Japanese IT professionals including data center managers will now have access to the key findings of the Technical Committee. This will serve as a point of engagement for Japanese companies looking to collaborate with The Green Grid, and support local marketing and IT energy efficiency events.

The Green Grid has also released  a Web site in Japanese language to help the promotion of The Green Grid’s best practices, metrics and technologies to Japanese businesses and organizations.. The Green Grid Japanese member companies include GMO Hosting, Fujitsu Limited, Fujitsu FIP Corporation, Hitachi (News - Alert), Ltd., Internet Initiative Japan Inc., ITOCHU Techno-Solutions Corporation, NEC Corporation, Nomura Research Institute, NTT COMWARE Corporation, NTT DATA CORPORATION, NTT Facilities, SOFTBANK IDC (News - Alert) Corp and TEPCO.

Recent government initiatives, a strengthening of partnerships among industry, government and the academy, as well as this collaboration with The Green Grid, typify the enhancement of relations with organizations overseas. And we have high hopes that through these efforts we will be able to make the concepts of "energy conservation for IT" and "energy conservation by IT" a reality,” said Handa.
