carbonizeIT - Cooling the Offenders of Cyber-Warming

Businesses must realise that greener IT practices will not give rise to any loss of competitiveness, and can be used to enhance profitability. The combination of rising fuel costs and increasing charges on CO2 output makes it economically vital for organisations to increase their efficiency and reduce their emissions.

carbonizeIT.com is at the forefront, allowing businesses to see what they waste in CO2 and consume in energy.  CarbonizeIT Audits show each hardware sector's CO2 and energy levels and then look at the way each individual organisation uses its current IT.  Working with each Client, we advise on more greener flexible solutions to roll out as part of an ongoing strategy, or implement on a project basis. 

With greener IT you can develop and secure a more flexible, sustainable and cleaner working environment, by reducing costs – not just on your IT, but indirectly – as well as allowing ease of access, increased flexible working, remote and home working etc., which all help towards a greener, more sustainable Work Life Balance.

Cooling is needed within offices, IT infrastructures and for the Climate, Globally.  We need to Cool the Cyber-Warming effect, as electricity consumption is set to triple by 2010.  As an example of this, let's take a look at the average server room or datacenter, where only 1 half of the electricity consumed is used by the equipment, with the other half going on cooling (25%), air movement (12%), electricity transformation (10%) and lighting (3%).  Today, for every £1 spent on hardware, we need to spend an extra 50p on power and cooling: that’s more than double that of five years ago. 

Already, major organisations are seriously looking at the impact of cooling the cyber warming effect, with a new Government  Taskforce, local Councils, Parliament and many other private sector Companies following suit and calling on carbonizeIT.com to show them what they waste and consume, and advise them how they can Cool the next big Offender: CYBER-WARMING.
