Preserving the Planet:

GMI has engaged in numerous programs and initiatives to help preserve our natural resources. We are currently a Leadership Partner in the Puget Sound Energy Green Power Program. Puget Sound Energy's Green Power Program is one of the top 10 Green Power Programs in the country (source: National Renewable Energy Laboratory, 12/2007). Puget Sound Energy believes renewable energy resources should be an integral part of its overall supply portfolio to meet the increasing demand for energy, diversify fuel sources, enhance fuel price stability, reduce incremental air emissions and stimulate local economic development.

We reduced our power consumption for IT by using thin client desktop appliances, low power IP phones and VWware server virtualization products. Our Sun Ray thin clients use 4 watts of power versus 80 for a typical PC, our phones use half the power of traditional phones, and with server virtualization we've reduced our server count by 80% or more.

GMI offers a complete line of thin client and virtualization products and services. These products enable corporations to virtualize their environments end-to-end. Additionally, the products we offer consume much less power and run cooler than competitive products, providing more options to green your data centers.

Sun's Eco Innovation solutions offer you a clear and actionable path to cut your energy bills and IT environmental impact, helping to transform your technology infrastructure into eco friendly data centers. It's a simple three-step approach that leads you through Assessing, Optimizing and Virtualizing your infrastructure, using the proven, pre-packaged tools, solutions and methodologies Sun learned from the redesign of its own data centers.
