Reduce energy costs and CO2 emissions         There is growing pressure on businesses to limit their emissions and operate in a more environmentally sustainable way.  Businesses that act now to reduce their carbon footprint and energy consumption can both reduce costs and improve long-term prospects. Reduce Energy costs Greener IT equipment can help avoid spiralling energy costs, carbon taxes and adverse publicity. carbonizeIT recognises that green issues are growing in significance for its clients, and proposes a number of ways to help them conform with regulations, maintain profitability while increasing sustainability, alleviate the effects of rising energy costs, gain economical advantage by “greening” their businesses, and plan for a more environmentally sound and profitable future. Reduce CO2 emissions Greener technologies may help halt or even reverse the effects of global warming if we  act now. As climate change becomes more prominent, there is growing pressure on businesses to reduce their emissions and operate in a more environmentally sustainable way. carbonizeIT believes that the adoption of greener business practices will not give rise to any loss of competitiveness and can be used to enhance  profitability. Businesses that act now to reduce their carbon footprint and energy expenditure can both cut costs and improve long-term prospects. Doing less with more As business volumes increase and as more business processes are computerised, the numbers of servers in typical organisations are increasing. Meanwhile, UK commercial electricity costs are rising by between 23% and 39% annually, such power costs are likely soon to outstrip the cost of hardware, leaving them second only to staffing costs. In the coming years, electricity will become a major factor in the overall cost of doing business, where IT is likely to be the largest single consumer of power in the organisation. Thin Clients, virtualization and consolidation carbonizeIT advises in constant advances in power-performance for each new generation of servers,  thin clients and storage, enabling clients to run the same workload at lower financial and environmental cost.  Thin clients offer a flexible, cost-effective alternative to standard PCs operating at up to 1/38 (power over Ethernet rate) ratio in power consumption from a conventional PC, while virtualization technologies allow large numbers of stand-alone systems to be replaced with just a handful of larger machines. Replacing 60 physical servers with virtualized servers running on a single mainframe could save more than 160,000 kWh each year, cutting 69 tonnes of CO2 emissions – as much as an area of mature forest the size of 17 football fields can remove from the atmosphere in the same period. ‘As the need to conserve energy and cut CO2 emissions increases, pressure is mounting on IT departments to improve efficiency. Companies that take a greener approach can significantly boost their public image, while reducing their energy costs.’
