Industry Cooperation

Silicon Mechanics works with customers to achieve their sustainability goals and reduce power consumption, but we also work with our industry as a whole. We are a member of The Green Grid and a Charter Member of the Green IT Alliance. Our support and participation in these organizations is just one more part of our overall strategic approach to improving data center efficiency and achieving true sustainability in computing.

Founded in 2007, The Green Grid is a global consortium of companies dedicated to advancing energy efficiency in data centers and business computing ecosystems. The Green Grid does not endorse any vendor-specific products or solutions, and will seek to provide industry-wide recommendations on best practices, metrics, and technologies that will improve overall data center energy efficiencies.

The Green IT Alliance (GITA) is a non-profit, public/private partnership devoted to accelerating the integration of green, energy-efficient IT technologies into sustainable building architecture. While many organizations focus on either green building or green IT, GITA is unique in that it encourages the integration of technologies in both sectors. Rather than just industry advocacy, GITA is primarily focused on implementing its mission through real-world pilot implementation projects and test laboratory research. The public/private partnership integrates the resources and talents of private industry, government, and university researchers.
