Book Presents the Green IT Business Case and Best Practices to Make It Happen NEW YORK–(Business Wire)–The Greening of IT: How Companies Can Make a Difference for the Environment, bytop green IT expert John Lamb, presents compelling reasons why businesses mustestablish more efficient technology practices: they will help save theenvironment, and they`ll help save money.
The book is published by Pearsonimprint, IBM Press (). The book focuses on the sustainable practice known as “IT greening,” or theprocess of using information technology more effectively to reduce fossilfuel-based energy consumption. IT and data centers are currently trending towardan exponential increase in the world`s consumption of electric energy. Lambemphasizes the importance of IT managers understanding how to create andmaintain green data centers, facilities in which the mechanical, lighting,electrical, and computer systems are designed for maximum energy efficiency andminimum environmental impact. Given the frequent “refresh cycles” for equipment,Lamb says IT groups are often well-positioned to innovate with these newtechnologies.
The book`s opening chapter presents an overview of the basics, including boththe benefits and challenges involved in moving to green IT. These includeorganizational issues (Who Pays the Electricity Bill?), motivations that speakto executives, and logistical issues such as asset procurement and disposal andsupply-chain issues. Lamb emphasizes the need for collaboration, both amongcompeting vendors and with energy utilities and the government. Lamb devotes an entire chapter to virtualization, a process for consolidatinghardware and software, perhaps the most promising technology for green IT.
