Brief Synopsis
Green Computing tops Gartner's list of 10 hottest technologies and is predicted to dominate CIO agendas in 2008. Long-term goals around server and infrastructure virtualisation, data centre outsourcing, thin client computing, tough supplier benchmarking and even building incentive schemes that reward IT for low energy consumption, are expected to appear soon on the top of the CIO agenda. IDC has also estimated that for every dollar (US) spent on computer hardware at the moment, an additional 50 cents (US) is spent on the power to run it and cool it down. And this is expected to rise by 54% to 71 cents for every $ over the next 4 years. Carbon audits, reconfiguring data centres, deploying equipment with power consumption sensors, upgrading power supplies all help but only scratch the surface of what needs to be done.
What is the impact of going green on IT purchase decisions, acquisition policies, equipment disposal procedures, and energy management? How can energy be conserved and power consumption saved through cooling and other benefits of greener computing? When should the decision be made to upgrade or replace computers? How are policies established that encourage environmentally sound approaches?
