Four new research posts were created and filled by the originating team in this new Green IT collaborative venture. Mr Cronin highlighted the urgent need for energy savings within IT departments worldwide to fight global warming and reduce operating costs. “The outcome of the research will form the basis of a future product suite to compliment our existing energy savings solutions which address a worldwide market”, he said.
