WHAT IS GREEN COMPUTING ALL ABOUT?
“As the 21st century belongs to computers, gizmos and electronic items, energy issues will get a serious ring in the coming days, as the public debate on carbon emissions, global warming and climate changes get hotter. Taking into consideration the popular use of information technology, it has lead a revolution of sorts by turning green in a manner no industry has ever done before...”
WHAT IS GREEN COMPUTING?
Computers are genius and in a way has acquired a next-to-God position in the human lives..THEN WHAT IS GREEN COMPUTING?
Answer is:: To have a positive(or least negative) relationship between the physical computer and its impact to the environments in which it moves through cradle to grave.
FACE IT..!!!
Average desktop computer requires chemicals and fossils 10 times its weight.
PRINTER AND ENERGY..!!
We need papers, so we cut the poor trees and harm the environment.
Also, do not forget the energy a printer while working and even when it is sitting idle..!
IT products usually have short life expectancy (usually 2-4 years).
The toxins used in manufacturing causes contamination.
Thus, human health risks!
Lead, barium, chromium to name a few.
POWER MANGEMENT AND SUPPLIES..
The 80 plus power programme is very efficient. Saves the machines from consuming more power than required.
It is a certification given to the PSU’ s.
STORAGE
We can use high valued storage capacity hard drive (3.5”) that gives the best performance so that we need not need more number of devices to be attached.
The second option is to make use of 2.5” laptop hard drive that consume less power and give better performance.
Thirdly (but the best thing) is to use SSD’s I.E. solid state disks that consume one third of power than the 2.5”.
TELECOMMUTING
The application of telecommuting and tele presence technologies are often implemented in green computing initiatives.
Advantages include increased worker satisfaction and decreased green house gas emissions (that include travel, office space, heat emission etc.)
TELECOMMUTING
Another benefit includes, for those people who stay at a distance can very well talk or communicate.
Hence enormous time and cost benefits.
One such example includes the latest VoIP(voice over IP) technology.
TERMINAL SERVERS
Users connect to the servers and all the computing is done at the server level.
When combined with the server, the different clients help reduce energy by one eighth of the total energy consumption.
Hence it is very much beneficial for the environment because a lot of energy , cost etc are saved.
Examples include Terminal Servers for Windows, Aqua Connect Terminal Server for Mac. Etc.
