HP? Nope.
Dell? Don't even...

Computerworld awarded this year's top green IT vendor spot to IBM. I tried to feign shock, but it's no surprise considering how the enterprise computing giant has been weaving a green thread through just about every one of its divisions and product lines -- and not letting us forget it.

BT Group and Qualcomm round out the top three. Others on the list include Fujitsu America, Microsoft, HP (placed 7th) and Sun. Dell was notably absent; draw your own conclusions.

Fujitsu America is proud of the distinction despite landing at 5th place. How do I know? They issued a press release, of course.

They attribute the honor, in part, to the data center fuel cell they installed at their Silicon Valley site.

In August of 2007, for example, the Fujitsu campus in Sunnyvale, Calif. installed a hydrogen fuel cell to significantly reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, making Fujitsu the first Silicon Valley-based IT company to install its own hydrogen power plant. Since 1996, Fujitsu has published regular reports detailing the programs and results of its environmental protection activities. Fujitsu has made the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index eight years in a row, and the FTSE4Good Index Series five years in a row.

And by the close of the '09 fiscal year, they plan to boost the number of "Super Green" products like the PRIMERGY TX120 by 20 percent across all business units.

Congrats to all! And thanks Dan!
