| Description |
2011 EMEA and US totals increased slightly due to restated supplier invoice totals. |
Percent Difference = 0.5% -- The increase in global energy use was due primarily to the expansion of the Data Center. Over
the past decade, the challenge of delivering timely information to support enterprise analytics has increased exponentially.
The deployment of additional computing and storage solutions, combined with IT globalization at corporate headquarters, has
increased demand for energy and data center space. Existing facilities were reaching capacity and could not be efficiently
expanded to maintain the high level of support expected by SAS' customers. The solution was to design and construct a dedicated
computing facility, emphasizing efficiency, flexibility and sustainability.
