Data Management - Green IT
The environmental impact of the electronics industry is higher than ever on the global political agenda. New legislation, directives and standards will inevitably change the way that business and individuals in EU and the US buy, operate and dispose of electronic equipment.
Yet going green makes economic sense too. Rapidly rising oil prices and the increasing power demands of new chipsets are bringing the cost of IT into greater focus in the boardroom. Beyond legislative compliance, there are many valuable business benefits to be gained by opting for “greener” power:
- Reduce operational costs: Gartner predicts that energy costs will become the second highest cost in 70% of the world’s data centres by 2009.
- Improve your reputation: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a top priority for many large corporations. Businesses that ignore their environmental impact will be less attractive to environmentally savvy investors and consumers.
- Get more from your assets: Technologies such as storage consolidation and virtualisation dramatically increase asset utilisation and reduce costs.
- As an enabler for change: The adoption of new technologies can help improve overall business processes and working practices. Virtualisation improves IT service levels and reduces the carbon footprint of your organisation.
