NEC has formulated the “REAL IT COOL PROJECT,” a series of programs and activities
for the development and provision of technologies, products, and services that will
reduce the power consumption of customers’ IT systems. By promoting this project,
NEC aims to cut the annual power consumption of customers’ IT systems by 50% to
achieve a cumulative reduction in CO2 emissions from IT devices of approximately
910,000 tons by the year 2012. Based on this plan, NEC launched the new “ECO
CENTER” energy-saving server that reduces power consumption by up to 55% com-
pared with conventional servers. In this manner, NEC is striving to reduce the environ-
mental impact of its customers and society as a whole.
