The reported number of Federal data centers grew from 432 in I998 to more than 1,100 in 2009.' This growth in redundant infrastructure
investments is costly, inefficient, unsustainable and has a significant impact on energy consumption. In 2006, Federal servers
and data centers consumed over 6 billion kwh of electricity and without a fundamental shift in how we deploy technology it
could exceed 12 billion kwh by 201 1 .2 In addition to the energy impact, information collected from agencies in 2009 shows
relatively low utilization rates of current infrastructure and limited reuse of data centers within or across agencies. The
cost of operating a single data center is significant, from hardware and software costs to real estate and cooling costs.
