What is Green IT all about?
"Green IT" primarily refers to reducing the energy consumption and carbon footprint of the IT function within the organization. Rising energy demand with a more limited supply, increasing utility costs, management of hazardous waste and electronic equipment disposal (e-waste) fuels the Green IT movement. As an emerging topic in IT management, “Green IT” practices are drawing high interest among IT organizations as well as suppliers, manufacturers and service providers.
With the rapid run-up of energy costs and a broadening awareness of the impact of global climate change, IT organizations are looking for strategies to offset rising costs and to use technology in ways that reduce their environmental impact. With the growing body of evidence demonstrating the potential return on investment (ROI) resulting from adopting Green IT approaches, leading organizations are implementing innovative solutions that reduce their utility bills and “green” their procurement practices.
Server and storage virtualization and consolidation, “Green PCs”, thin clients are the concepts that lead towards Green IT.
