Greenpeace lauds Quincy as 'green' data center site

QUINCY - A report issued by Greenpeace this week holds Quincy up as a relatively 'green' option for research companies looking to place data centers.

The 52-page report

The 52-page report, titled "How Clean Is Your Cloud," analyzed the energy policies and data center operations of leading innovation companies just as Apple, Yahoo!, Microsoft and Dell, all of which store vast amounts of information used in cloud computing.

Greenpeace recommended Dell should announce a preference for renewable energy to better clarify its policy to various utilities and countries vying for its business.

Facebook located its first data center in Prineville, Oregon, and Apple has reportedly opted to invest its second iCloud data center there as then.
