PowerSeraya has made it to CIO Asia’s 2009 CIO 100 Index for deploying Green IT solutions in response to its increased business growth and forecasts. The CIO Asia’s 2009 CIO 100 Index is a prestigious annual listing that recognises the top 100 Asian companies for their best practices in innovative IT solutions to yield the greatest returns for their key operations and businesses.

The winning project was the company’s deployment of virtualisation for its existing hardware servers to support an increased demand for server resources. This has led PowerSeraya to reduce its power consumption and carbon emissions by an estimated 70% each. This translates to savings of more than 29,000kWh and 14 tonnes of carbon emissions per year. The move towards greening its IT infrastructure has also eliminated the need for additional floor space to house more physical servers.
