Many utility companies offer data center rebates or incentives, but they can be difficult to track down. We have made an effort to list only specific data center rebates and incentives.
Viridity is an excellent choice for data center rebates related to consolidation and removal of underutilized servers, and is currently working with several utility companies to be added to the list of prefered providers.
In September of 2011, Viridity representative Michael Tresh, Director of Product Management and Marketing, presented "How to Tap Into Utility Compay Rebates". The presentation includes a more extensive list of data center rebate providers.
