Happy Friday!

Though I try to mix things up, I can’t help but feature three links from Processor today. The magazine has increasingly turned its attention to green computing and this month they’ve delivered a perfect little storm that touches on data center facilities best practices, IT infrastructures and tips for SMBs mulling their cloud computing options.

Also today, some insights from Deloitte’s CSR; the modular cooling market heats up; and a look at the effect of the U.S. Government’s IT revamp on cloud providers like Horizon (hint: increased hiring).
