Meeting the Green IT Challenge

You Asked: "How can I meet the challenges of being environmentally responsible while not hurting the bottom line?"

We answered.

Sustainability is sustainable

Solution Overview

Energy consumption, supply, and environmental impact are now part of the IT decision process

As energy costs rise and concerns for the environment make the front page, IT managers have a growing responsibility in addressing energy concerns in the IT infrastructure. Executives have always been focused on business growth, but what if your data center can't support expansion due to power and cooling limitations or spiraling energy costs? What happens when energy costs become part of your IT budget, or carbon tax’s are introduced. Solving that problem falls to the IT manager and adding more servers is not the answer. A new reality is dawning in the IT space. Power and cooling will no longer be the responsibility of the facilities budget, and today’s responsible corporations are faced with making environmentally sound decisions. Innovative IT staff are coming to the realization that going green is saving $Green.

ICP recognizes that going green in the IT space requires more than procuring new hardware. Industry experts agree tomorrow’s corporations will need to change their culture, from fleets, to cafeterias, to office supplies, to parking lot lighting, to Information Technology. Many corporations start their green initiative by looking to IT, as IT is one of the major customers of power and cooling in today’s businesses. Being Environmentally responsible doesn’t stop there, as technology refreshes replace old IT hardware with newer, more efficient hardware, eco-friendly corporations are insisting that their old hardware be disposed of or recycled in ways that do not harm the environment. More and more of today’s corporations are seeing great benefit in being, and being viewed as Eco-Friendly.
