The Uptime Institute’s annual Green Enterprise IT awards program recognizes organizations actively and profitably pioneering energy efficiency improvements in their data centers. Secondarily, the Green Enterprise IT Awards Program also recognizes the greening of IT through enabling software applications or management initiatives where the energy savings occur outside the data center–like telecommuting or airline or truck delivery scheduling as well as through more energy efficient desktops, laptops and other devices not housed in data center environments.

The Uptime Institute Awards are intended to create top-to-bottom institutional awareness that IT can save significant amounts of energy which directly enhances bottom-line profitability while significantly reducing over-all corporate carbon footprint.
