Go Green to Save Green – Embracing Green Energy PracticesLindaWatson19
Green is not just media/technology hype. IT organizations can reduce their carbon footprint, reduce energy consumption and drive cost out of the data center. This paper examines the costs and strategies that can be deployed to reduce Tier 1 storage in production and reduce the overall storage and servers required for data management.
Green computing aims to reduce the environmental impact of computers and their use. It began in 1992 with the EPA's Energy Star program and involves designing, manufacturing, using and disposing of devices in an environmentally friendly way. Key aspects of green computing include reducing electricity usage, minimizing toxic waste, and utilizing solar and carbon-free computing methods. Various regulations and industry initiatives have also been implemented to promote green computing.
Climate change is being driven by human activities like burning fossil fuels which release greenhouse gases and warm the planet. Effects are already occurring like sea level rise, stronger hurricanes, more droughts and will continue/worsen if emissions aren't reduced. Green computing aims to limit environmental impact of technology through reducing energy/emissions in manufacturing, data centers and use, but faces challenges due to lack of concern, rapid innovation and upfront costs. While it makes progress, more can still be done and some companies use it for appearances while causing other environmental damage.
Green-IT Governance : the sustainable pairTanguy Swinnen
As invited lecturer @ Jönköping International Business School, I've tried to explain how both the concepts of governance and green-it form together the future for a more sustainable world.
Green computing aims to reduce the environmental impact of computers and their use. It involves designing, manufacturing, and disposing of computing devices in an eco-friendly way. Green computing was originated in 1992 with the EPA's Energy Star program and aims to address issues like high electricity usage and toxic e-waste. Key methods of green computing include using solar power, becoming carbon neutral, turning off monitors when not in use, and putting systems in sleep or hibernate mode to save energy. Regulations and industry initiatives have also aimed to set standards and targets to promote greener computing practices.
