Steve/Jim - you raise an excellent question. What we’re hearing from our customers and partners is yes, they do care about their carbon footprint, but the bigger question they’re asking is what should we do and how can we green IT in a way that matches our business objectives? Multi-point devices is one way to answer those questions, as they reduce rack space, power, and cooling requirements, while providing the service customers expect. Using these devices is a socially responsible action and a viable business decision that reduces cost and improves productivity through streamlining operations.
