DALLAS — April 27, 2016 — With energy one of the major operating expenses (OpEX) for data center operations, balancing short-term energy efficiency with the long-term benefits of sustainability doesn’t have to be an either-or-choice according to short video released today by GE’s Critical Power business (NYSE: GE).

“Efficiency versus sustainability isn’t an ‘either-or’ proposition,” says Jeff Schnitzer, general manager of GE’s Critical Power business in this video. “Our customers see power protection and conversion efficiency as a key OpEx saving. Yet they also look at energy sustainability for its long term OpEx impact as a business and competitive imperative.”

The video is part of a new series of videos that details the role reliable, quality and efficient power plays in keeping data center, communications, computing and industrial customers’ operations flowing smoothly. The series is available for viewing at “Power Thoughts” in the “Topics” section on the company’s information and resource page.
