Introduction
Green computing is the practice of using computing resources efficiently. Modern IT
systems rely upon a complicated mix of people, networks, and hardware, as such, a green computing initiative must be systemic in nature, and address increasingly sophisticated problems. Green computing is the utmost requirement to protect environment and save energy along with operational expenses in today's increasingly competitive world. We at Johnson Controls currently are working on implementation of the green computing practices. But before implementing, it's also important to study about what kind of energy gains and operational gains can be achieved.
Existing works
Technology Business Research (TBR) today announced Dell took the No. 1 position in its
inaugural Corporate Sustainability Index (CSI) Benchmark Report for 2009. The report measures the environmental initiatives of 40 companies in the computer hardware, software, professional services and network and telecommunications sectors.
Our work
We love our computers for all the ways they make our lives (and the world) better -- the
wealth of knowledge (and democratizing force) of the Internet, the instantaneous
communication, the sophisticated tools that help us work and create and share.
Analysis of our work
The electric utility industry is in an unprecedented era of change to meet increasing customer demand for greater reliability and different services in the face of substantial regulation and volatile energy costs. This requires new approaches and business models to allow greater network reliability, efficiency, flexibility and transparency. At the same time, the utility industry is digitizing, transforming from an electromechanical environment to a
digitized one.
Conclusion
So green computing is a mindset that asks how we can satisfy the growing demand for
network computing without putting such pressure on the environment. There is an alternative way to design a processor and a system such that we don't increase demands on the environment, but still provide an increased amount of processing capability to customers to satisfy their business needs. Green computing is not about going out and designing biodegradable packaging for products. Now the time came to think about the efficiently use of computers and the resources which are non renewable. It opens a new window for the new entrepreneur for harvesting with E-waste material and scrap computers.
