Any thoughts on how cabling can help company’s concerned with enhancing their green credentials (ie complying with the EU Code of Conduct, for example)?
Companies looking to enhance their green credentials should look at their infrastructure as their foundation to their business. The foundation element is the strength and the core. It will not be replaced in a short period of time like other technologies, so deploying a strong quality solution in the first place is important. After all, this is the foundation of your business and therefore the underlying element of your reputation. There are many ISO standards sought by those who wish to improve their “Green” credentials. Those who tend to opt for the “cheap” solution tend to have concerns over the infrastructure reliability of their business also.
