Moving Towards the Green Computing

Green Green computing or IT provides a more efficient and better use of IT resources so that minimal use of materials, while unsafe promote the use of recycled products and provides for maximum energy savings.

The complex mechanisms that in the IT processing and management of utilities and Green It requires.

As established in 1992, the term "green computing" came into the picture shortly after the "Energy Star" program was launched. The green IT security provides a good return, which can be measured. Many changes brought about in the organisation, wherever the concept of green It should be taken as the entire investment planning, optimum use of resources or the IT equipment and the department work in conjunction. And the approaches to Green It is an acceptance of thin client solutions, virtualization or teleworking.

IBM recently launched advice is offered by IBM is based on the Six Sigma principles of efficiency. This advice is aimed at examining the use of energy and water, followed by the control measures for the conservation of energy. According to company sources, IBM in 1990 saved about 4.6 billion kWh of electricity and prevented nearly 3 million metric tons of CO2 emissions. So, essentially a reduction of waste and recycling of materials used is what is needed to ensure green IT. There have been several approaches to Green Computing.

Some of them are:

Virtualization: With virtualization, more than one system can be executed in a single set of physical hardware. It allows for minimal power consumption and maximum cooling effect. Intel and AMD are two companies have settled in virtualization technologies for their core CPU product lines. Virtualisation allows for the consolidation of servers reduces the associated costs on energy consumption and energy use.

Power-saving modes: The open industry standards such as ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) enables the control and power save by making the components such as monitors and hard drives to rest after long hours of work.
Now is the maximum power saving would have a fast GPU with a graphics card is the sharing of terminals and the common use of desktop output. In the best case, an older graphics card can be used. Nearly all computing supplies such as printer, toner, monitors, etc.

Telework: telecommuting or virtual working groups has many advantages in connection with green, because apart from the cool with experience of working from home. Since the workers not to commute, there will be less fuel emission or greenhouse gas emissions. And there are also reduced overhead costs in office, such as light, electricity, etc., there is an increase in global power and energy savings.

VoIP: The reduction of telephone cabling will naturally lead to declining costs, because the voice-over Internet protocol.
In particular, the desktops and laptops should be turned off if they do not use and should not be on standby. The printer, UPS and all other components should remain off.
