Sun Microsystems has completed construction of its new energy efficient data center in Broomfield, Colorado, the company's fourth green data center.

Some features of the new green data center include:
- Uses 1 million kWh less electricity per month.
- Utilizes an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for backup energy which does not require batteries.
- Square footage reduced from 496,000 sq. ft. to 126,000 sq. ft. compared to it's previous data center.
- Liebert advanced XD cooling system
