 Facts about your desktop computer

"To make one desktop

computer it takes at least 240
kilograms of fossil fuels, 22
kilograms of chemicals, and
over 1500 kilograms of water.
The total fossil fuels used to
manufacture 1 computer, for
example, amount to 9 times
the weight of the actual
computer, compared to only
one or two times for a car or a
fridge."
 Other Surprising Facts
• A typical IT department spends 50
cents of every dollar for power and
cooling and this expense keeps
growing.
• A single energy efficient PC with
activated power saving functions can
save up to half a ton of CO2 per year.
• 85% of the electricity that powers PCs goes to waste as they
lie idle.
• About a third of the servers are doing almost nothing
except consuming energy.
Solution: Green IT
 What is Green IT?

The study and practice of

using computing
resources in an efficient,
effective and economic
way.
 Why go green?
• Positive effect on environment
• Increased customer demand
• The cost of energy is the top reason most
companies make the move toward Green IT
• Utilize resources more effectively
• Optimize energy efficiency
• Good for the environment and good for the
bottom line
 Green IT = Going Green???
“Going green” programs can be simple
or complex and include:
• Turning off computer at the end of the day
• Purchasing energy efficient office
equipment
• Promoting virtual meetings and
telecommuting
• Recycling paper products
• Converting to a “paperless” office
• Properly disposing of obsolete computer
equipment
 Green IT = Going Green???
“ Green Information Technology” is more
complex.
Definition : the “integrated and cooperating
set of software using information technology
to support individual, group, organizational,
and societal goals.” Green IT can include:
• Designing components that produce more
power with less energy consumption
• Monitoring the level of waste created and
energy consumed by the company
• Developing shared software systems
 Green Data Centers
Why Data Centers?
• Highly energy-intensive and rapidly growing
• Consume 10 to 100 times more energy per square foot
than a typical office building
• Large potential impact on electricity supply
and distribution
• Used about 45 billion kWh
in 2005
• At current rates, power
requirements could double
in 5 years.
 Technical Emphasis Areas
• Energy Efficient IT Hardware/Software/
Network Architecture
– Virtualization/Grid Computing/Thin
Client
• Power and Cooling Infrastructure
– SprayCool/DC Distribution/Power
Aware
• Integration into Building/landscape
Architecture
– Modular Data Centers, Cooling
Pond/Radiant Floor Heat/Green Power
Easy Ways to Increase Storage Efficiency

• Consolidation
• Utilization
• Elimination
• Archive
Approaches to Green IT
• Virtualization

The process of running two or more

logical computer systems on one set of
hardware.
Virtualization helps a company /
enterprise
lower power and cooling consumption,
by
reducing the number of machines and
servers it needs.
Power Management
• Power Supply
• Storage
• Display
• e-Waste handling
• Material Recycling
 Telecommuting

• Teleconferencing
and tele-
presence
technology
• Working at home
