Cost: $25/pc (SoCal Edison Rebate $15/pc)
Synopsis: Going green has never been so popular. Cars, homes, and even large corporations are going green. It is not because the SEC has allowed accountants to add a feel good dollar value to the balance sheet. Government entities are providing tax breaks, electricity providers are offering rebates, and the press is giving free PR to green companies.
Increasingly, there are a number of ways that corporate IT groups can play a part in benefiting both their environment, uptime, all while reducing costs. I will not drone on about...
1) Consolidation & Virtualization w/ Electric Company Rebates (check w/ your provider)
2) LCDs v. CRT v. Plasma
3) High Efficiency Power Supplies
4) RoHS Compliant
5) PC Recycling
6) Energy Star
We have heard a lot about the aforementioned ways IT can contribute to green efforts. I will however cover an interesting piece of software called SURVEYOR, by Verdiem.
