(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) –- Federal CIO Vivek Kundra announced on Thursday that the US Federal government has already shut down 39 data centers just four months of 2011, according to a report by Data Center Knowledge.

If the government manages to succeed, it will shut down a total of 137 data centers in the first year of the Obama administration’s massive initiative to consolidating data centers run by Federal agencies.

Earlier this week, MeriTalk issued a new study that showed that the consolidation efforts could save the government $18.8 billion.
