Straight Talking - Silicon Offset and the Green Debate
Category: IT Management
Overview There has been plenty of discussion about the negative impact of IT on the environment - power use and waste - but what about the plus points? IT on the face of it is not very sustainable. New products are introduced in rapid development cycles that encourage wasteful frequent upgrade and replacement. Not only do the products consume precious metals and other resources, but the manufacturing processes are energy intensive and systems or components are rarely sourced locally, as cheaper alternatives are often found on the other side of the planet. Once delivered and installed, increasingly powerful computers and networks consume more power than ever before, 24x7 operation means many are rarely switched to standby, let alone off.
