Keep this in mind when you notice a drop in otherwise solidly performing sequential read operations.

How Raytheon’s IT Department Helps Meet Green Goals – Computerworld

What They Did: Raytheon virtualized or decommissioned 1,300 servers and established common database services to reduce system acquisition, power and cooling costs.

Along with minimizing environmental disturbance and recycling half of all construction waste, materials were sourced locally, including the structure’s distinctive New England-style shingles, which were made from wood harvested within a 500-mile radius, using sustainable forestry practices.
