The city of Kawasaki, Japan has deployed a new storage system as part of its initiative to promote a reduction in CO2 emission, the FutureGov reported.
The partnership with Fujitsu was announced today—February 1, that the city government has officially implemented ETERNUS series of storage systems offered by Fujitsu to be a part of ‘Low CO2 Kawasaki Brand’ programme to support manufacturing for a low-carbon society leading to a reduction in CO2 emission throughout the product’s lifecycles.
The city of Kawasaki has recently finished the three-year pilot period, and is now officially deploying the new storage system starting the 2013 fiscal year.
The ETERNUS series offer a standard-feature eco-mode with a technology called “massive array of idle disks” (MAID) that rotates the disks only when necessary. By stopping the rotation of disks that are rarely used, less electricity is consumed and disk lifespan is increased. The series also come with high-efficiency power units, and vary the frequency of fan rotations in stages to minimize power consumption when in use without sacrificing performance.
The intelligent use of energy-saving technologies ensures that the array will reduce CO2emissions over its lifecycle by 46 per cent per gigabyte of storage capacity compared to the previous model.
Kawasagi city is located located in Kanagawa Prefecture, between Tokyo and Yokohama. It is the ninth most populated city in Japan with an estimated population of 1,437,266, as of 1 June 2012.
