The mission of the Green IT Alliance is to become a nationally recognized Clean Technology Center of Excellence devoted to accelerating broad adoption of technologies and practices for integrating energy efficient IT infrastructure into sustainable enterprise and data center architectures.

The power and cooling demands associated with IT infrastructure has been recognized as one of the fastest growing segments of United States energy demand. The U.S. economy is largely information technology based, and growth in the sector is not only good for the economy, but critical to the nations future. However, in the face of rising concerns about global climate change, businesses must act quickly to adopt new technologies and practices to improve the energy efficiency of our IT infrastructure. Unfortunately, IT infrastructure is mission critical, and most data center operators and IT managers are reluctant to use their facilities to experiment with new approaches. Consequently, the sector has a long technology adoption cycle. Therefore, a primary objective of the Green IT Alliance is to serve as a test bed and pilot project implementation center to facilitate the industrys ability to test new technologies and approaches in a low risk fashion.
