If that sounds familiar, it probably should. Look around your home and you\u2019ll notice that many of your newer appliances boast an Energy Star seal of approval. This is an indication of certified energy-efficiency. The result? Less waste and lower operational expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These same green computing principles can be applied to your organization\u2019s IT infrastructure. Green computing (also known as <em>green information technology<\/em> or <em>green IT<\/em>) is the use of computers and their resources in a way that reduces environmental impact.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More generally, it\u2019s a field of study that encompasses the design, manufacture, use, and disposal of computer systems in an eco-friendly manner. Indeed, IT manufacturers continue to push the limits of eco-friendly computing systems on all fronts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond merely creating a product that boasts a green design, the focus is on developing products that qualify for green disposal. This is achieved by decreasing the use of hazardous materials in the manufacturing process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"blog-links_box\">\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;font-size: 24px;color:black\">Interested in learning more about green computing?

Enable Power Management<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Power management features can be automatically enabled to power down computer displays and hard drivers after a specified amount of inactivity. These low-power states are often collectively referred to as \u201csleep mode.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Dispose Responsibly of E-Waste<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When disposing of electronic waste, it\u2019s critical that you adhere to local, state, and federal regulations. Whenever possible, find ways to recycle, refurbish, or reuse your computing devices at the end of their lifecycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Verify Data Centers Temperature<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Data centers are notorious for their intense heat output. This directly correlates with the number of servers in your racks. Therefore, the larger your data center, the more challenging temperature regulation becomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A green data center is one in which the electrical, computing, and mechanical components are optimized in a way that reduces energy consumption. This can be accomplished in a variety of ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For instance, consider installing fans throughout your racks to keep temperatures down. Moreover, use energy-efficient overhead lighting; this means the lights are operated by motion detectors or timers so that they\u2019re only active when needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/netsurit.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/05\/Green-Computing-image2-1030x687.jpg\" alt=\"What is Green Computing?\" class=\"wp-image-5791\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Implement Smart Technologies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Smart technologies leverage the power of machine learning (ML) and artificial technology (AI) to collect and analyze data with the aim of streamlining business processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many organizations are now employing these smart technologies in their data centers. By monitoring the environment, Internet of things (IoT) sensors can automatically manage things like power, heating, and cooling in the data center for optimal performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Opt for Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Compared to traditional cathode ray tube (CRT) monitors, liquid crystal displays (LCD) are environmentally superior in three ways. First, they emit less heat. Second, they require less energy to power. Finally, they\u2019re easier to recycle, since the <a href=\"https:\/\/quantumlifecycle.com\/what-we-recycle\/lcd-led-monitors\/#:~:text=Recycling%20of%20LCD%20monitors%20is,only%20194%2C000%20tons%20were%20recycled.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">indium in the TFT panels<\/a> can be repurposed for the construction of new LCDs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Encourage Remote Work<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What began as a compromise during the early days of COVID-19 has gradually become the new normal. For health and legal reasons, organizations across the globe had no choice but to pivot to the <a href=\"https:\/\/netsurit.com\/en-us\/you-can-measure-productivity-and-create-trust-with-remote-workforce\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">work-from-home model<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, with much of the panic and many of the restrictions behind us, it appears this trend is here to stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not only are remote workers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flexjobs.com\/employer-blog\/new-study-finds-remote-workers-happier-more-productive\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">happier and more productive<\/a> in their jobs, but the reduction in travel and commuting has been a major victory for green computing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Choose Laptops Over Desktops<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Laptops consume significantly less energy than traditional desktop computers. In fact, laptops use roughly 30 to 70 watts per hour, whereas desktop computers use anywhere from 60 to 300 watts per hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Invest in Alternative Energy Sources<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fossil fuel is the problem child of the energy sector: It\u2019s not renewable; it\u2019s cost is highly variable; and it emits high levels of harmful carbon into the atmosphere.&nbsp;<br>That\u2019s why many organizations are investing in alternative energy sources, like hydroelectricity, wind power, geothermal cooling, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.colocationamerica.com\/blog\/renewable-energy-data-centers#:~:text=Solar%20power%20is%20a%20suitable,susceptible%20to%20spikes%20or%20blackouts.\">solar panels<\/a>. The latter are particularly interesting for their stable costs and invulnerability to power surges and blackouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"blog-cta_box\" id=\"cta\">\n                     <h2 class=\"h2-ll\" style=\"text-align: center\">Make Green Computing a Part of Your Business Strategy<\/h2>\n                     <p style=\"text-align: center\">Bring green computing concepts to your business with help from Netsurit.<\/p>\n                     <p style=\"text-align: center\"><a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/netsurit.com\/en-us\/our-services\/\">Learn More<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Consider Your Printers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Though printers don\u2019t have the same clout as things like servers or laptops, they\u2019re still a key pillar of your green computing strategy. When it comes to printers, there\u2019s two main things to consider.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, consider switching out your inkjet printers for laser printers. Laser printers are more expensive up-front and use pricier toner cartridges; however, they offer a better long-term return on investment (ROI) thanks to their high efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you decide to stick with the inkjet printers, opt for ones that use refillable cartridges instead of replaceable ones; this can save you as much as <a href=\"https:\/\/inkgenie.com\/blogs\/resources\/should-you-refill-ink-cartridges-or-buy-new\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">30% to 50% per refill<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. Align Your Company\u2019s Vision<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To make the most out of a green computing initiative, it\u2019s absolutely essential that the executive staff grasps its importance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With C-level and senior management support, it becomes easier to implement corporate policies that emphasize eco-friendly computing equipment, policies, and practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reduce Your IT Infrastructure\u2019s Carbon Footprint With Netsurit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we\u2019ve seen, green computing isn\u2019t just good for the environment, it offers a high-performance, scalable, and cost-effective solution for your IT infrastructure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that you understand the green computing concept, it\u2019s time to start implementing the above suggestions within your own organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reduce Your IT Carbon Footprint Today<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Partner with Netsurit to implement green computing strategies that cut costs, boost efficiency, and support sustainability. <a href=\"https:\/\/netsurit.com\/en-za\/contact\/\">Contact us<\/a> to get started.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From your home recycling bin to the G20\u2019s policies on climate change, environmental sustainability has become a focal point for everyone.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6242,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"nf_dc_page":"","content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[65],"class_list":["post-6241","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","tag-green-computing"],"acf":[],"_yoast_wpseo_title":"Green Computing and Sustainable IT -
