GreenComputing is one of the recent trends that is growing inIT sector. Now each company are following
the green principles before the design of their systems. Green computing helps
in reducing the pollution and destruction of environment.The basic principles are followed here are green disposal, green
design and green manufacturing, which are achieved through ways
like power management, green data center.
Green Computing systems take
into account the so-called triple bottom line of people, planet, and profit.These
focuses are green chemistry; reduction of the use of hazardous materials such
as lead at the manufacturing and recycling stages, maximized energy efficiency
during the product's lifetime, and recyclability or biodegradability of both a
defunct product and of any factory waste.
ROADS TO
GREEN COMPUTING
i) Green design
Designing
energy-efficient and environmentally sound components, computers, servers,
cooling equipment, and data centers.
ii) Green manufacturing
Manufacturing
electronic components, computers, and other associated subsystems with minimal
impact on the environment.
iii) Green use
Reducing
the energy consumption of computers and other information systems as well as
using them in an environmentally sound manner.
iv) Green disposal
Refurbishing
and reusing old computers and properly recycling unwanted computers and other
electronic equipment.
EMBODIED ENERGY
Embodied
energy refers to the quantity of energy required to manufacture, and product, material or service. When considering
the energy/emissions impact of IT equipment, the embodied energy of each element must be considered as well as
the operational energy consumption for that equipment. Embodied energy is
significant.
