The document discusses green IT and provides recommendations for making computing more environmentally friendly. It notes that data centers account for 0.3% of global CO2 emissions and 0.8% of electricity usage. Various approaches to green IT are described, including virtualization, power management, recycling, and telecommuting. Implementing these approaches in green data center design can provide long-term cost savings while reducing environmental impact. The document recommends increasing online content and courses to cut paper usage and emissions from transportation. Conducting energy assessments and striving for triple bottom line benefits are also advised.

- 5. Green IT The study and practice of using computing resources in an efficient, effective and economic way.
- 7. An Important Fact (By David Tebbutt,Martin Atherton, and Tony Lock) …of Global CO2 Emissions
- 8. • Datacentres produce 0.3% of world’s CO2 • If designated as a country, datacentres would be 76th on co2 emission list • Datacentres also consume 0.8% of the world’s electricity
- 9. GREEN IS EVERYWHERE 68% Of Executives foresee increased government regulation on environment 77% Of Companies anticipate spending more on Environmental Programs. 80% of all data centers report capacity issues 83% Of Largest Retailers are involved in Green Practices.
- 10. Actual Amount of Energy Used
- 11. Problems Rising energy prices are increasingly impacting on the cost of doing business Government imposed levies on carbon production will impact all businesses with businesses increasingly judged according to their environmental credentials, by legislators, customers and shareholders.
- 12. Approaches to Green IT Virtualization Power management Material recycling Telecommuting
- 13. A study by McKinsey found that among observed 458 servers at 4 datacentres 32% were running at or below 3% peak utilization Virtualization helps reduce server counts by as much as 65%
- 14. Virtualisation The process of running two or more logical computer systems on one set of hardware.
- 15. Contd… Virtualization helps a company / enterprise lower power and cooling consumption, by reducing the number of machines and servers it needs Virtualization platforms can run across hundreds of interconnected physical computers and storage devices, to create an entire virtual infrastructure
- 16. Power Management Power Supply Storage Display
- 17. Material Recycling HR233, the U.S. National Computer Recycling Act e-Waste handling
- 19. Telecommuting Teleconferencing and telepresence technology Web meetings and webinars, where people can share content and interact with each other through their webcams and PC screens. Working at home
- 21. Green Data Center Repository for the storage, management, and dissemination of data Mechanical, lighting, electrical and computer systems designed for maximum energy efficiency and minimum environmental impact
- 23. Implementation of GDC The construction and operation of a green data center includes advanced technologies and strategies Here are some examples: Minimizing the footprints of the buildings Use of low-emission building materials, carpets and paints Sustainable landscaping Waste recycling Installation of catalytic converters on backup generators Use of alternative energy technologies – eg. photovoltaics
- 24. Advantages of GDC Can be expensive up front, but long-term cost savings can be realized on operations and maintenance Offers employees a healthy, comfortable work environment Green facilities enhance relations with local communities Easier to comply with regulations, if imposed Elimination of utility shortfall
- 25. Green IT trends in India Seriously concerned about being environmentally-savvy But few companies are ready to walk the talk Only 27.2% of Indian businesses have implemented power-saving technologies like hot aisle or cold aisle containment 77% IT companies here feel power shortage in India will soon affect them Companies planning to spend on energy-efficient servers (for 54% of surveyed Indian businesses) and server virtualization (41%)
- 26. Green data center design at Wipro Infotech New ‘Tier-III’ data center at Greater Noida with replicable green data center model Extensive planning before selecting data centre solution Power and cooling identified as the primary areas for green technology deployment Reduce electrical losses Optimize cooling 60-70% times company recover cost within 4 yrs
- 27. Recommendations
- 28. Online Dr. John Thompson – Blueprint for Green Computing eSeminar Increase use of the Internet and your Web site Place information on Web pages, wikis and blogs instead of making paper copies Online courses consume nearly 90% less energy & produce 85% fewer CO2 emissions – 2005 report Uses less paper than traditional classroom Ex. - Online course evals instead of paper Assign online texts or Internet sites Use course management systems Ex. - Blackboard, ANGEL
- 29. Final Recommendations Pick all the low hanging fruit Small changes make big difference Conduct energy assessment Set baseline…& measure, measure, measure Strive to achieve TBL – triple bottom line Economic Environmental Social Save $$ while helping protect the environment and doing what’s right for society.

Editor's Notes
- #24: heat pumps, and evaporative cooling
- #25: Building and certifying a green data center Data centres typically account for 25 per cent of total corporate IT budgets
- #26: * Technologoes are – Liquid cooling, air/water side economizer, Free cooling * Reasons for not adopting – ROI generallly 5 yrs on this investment, but Indian companies demand ROI in 1 yr..
- #27: * Highly efficient IGBT-based UPS systems, which are 4% to 5% more energy efficient Advanced cooling systems with water recycle plant to cater to cooling requirements precision air conditioning and air handling units use outside environment in cooling
