The concept of making a data center 'greener' by boosting efficiency isn't new for as long as centers have existed, it's been the nearly Sisyphean task for CIOs and managers to keep tweaking strategies until operations can be as streamlined as possible. Green IT is implemented to reduce costs, increase productivity, and improve building performance. Some important Steps to implement Green IT: IT managers can take a page from these companies and implement the same kinds of oversight on their own or their partners manufacturing processes. In addition, when developing RFPs (requests for proposal), IT managers should ask questions related to vendors manufacturing processes, such as whether the p...

In early 2005, the collective will was building for energy conservation and environmental good citizenship — at least that’s the way it felt if you were living in San Francisco, California. The rest of the United States hadn’t decided to take those issues seriously yet. But that was before gasoline spiked to $3.50 per gallon. It was before Hurricane Katrina ravaged New Orleans. It was before a string of three summers with record heat. And it was before the movie An Inconvenient Truth drastically changed the public perception of human-induced climate change and the potential crisis that it could induce. Those issues combined with the fact that the technology world is centered in environmenta...

AMISH  |  Added idea  "E-Waste"  |  10 months ago

1 Business want profit
2 No proper Energy management
Vishnu M.  |  Added idea  "Unaware of what where and how!"  |  2 years ago
May be the managers are not aware of how much energy is getting consumed by their data - centers each day. Suppliers and clients should work together to find a solution that is green and cost efficient, which would be a value add for the...

1 The Awareness issue
2 Willingness to do
Suresh Prasad Gupta  |  Added idea  "Willingness to do"  |  1 year ago
It seems that there is lack of willingness to go for Greenliness. As because it will require investment. Further, it looks as if people concern are not very much interested.In fact awareness regarding the same has to be initiated. That may fetch...
sumitra dutta  |  Added idea  "The Awareness issue"  |  1 year ago
Before anything takes shape, it’s always important to know how aware the people of the country are, because implementing is always the latter stage. The awareness level gives a brief idea of who the “takers” really are. A very interesting thing...

10 minutes for your country? If yes, then read; otherwise, choice is yours. YOU say that our government is inefficient. YOU say that our laws are too old. YOU say that the municipality does not pick up the garbage. YOU say that the phones don't work, the railways are a joke. The airline is the worst in the world, mails never reach their destination. YOU say that our country has been fed to the dogs and is the absolute pits. YOU say, say and say. What do YOU do about it? Take a person on his way to Singapore . Give him a name - 'YOURS'. Give him a face - 'YOURS'. YOU walk out of the airport and you are at your International best. In Singapore you don't throw cigarette butts on the roads or eat in the stores. YOU are as proud of their Underground links as they are. You pay $5 (approx. Rs. 60) to drive through Orchard Road (equivalent of Mahim Causeway or Pedder Road) between 5 PM and 8 PM. YOU come back to the parking lot to punch your parking ticket if you have over stayed in a...
