Green IT in Practice: How One Company is Approaching the Greening of its IT
by Gary Hird

"There has been a flood of books on Green IT but most fail to get the pitch right: they are either too simplistic or become bogged down in the technologies, issues and science. Gary Hird’s short book is a valuable, clear primer, based on real experience."
Information Age, Aug 09		 The Green and Virtual Data Center
by Greg Schulz

"The book is extremely well organized and easy to follow. Each chapter has a very good introduction and comprehensive summary. This book could easily serve as a blueprint for organizations to follow when they look for ideas on how to design new data centers. It's a great addition to an IT Bookshelf."
