White Paper Excerpt

The demands on information technology continue to rise at an increasing rate. To keep up with the demand, IT departments are increasing the use of computing and associated resources. The demand on energy is also reaching epic proportions, and power grids are showing signs that they are struggling to meet demand through higher consumer energy costs and power usage caps for corporations. As a major consumer of power, IT departments are being challenged to find innovative ways to reduce power consumption and reduce the company’s overall carbon footprint. IT is now facing overall economic and socioeconomic pressures to reduce costs and go green.

As companies build and implement strategies for increased efficiencies in IT-related asset utilization and process orchestration, they can also begin to realize significant opportunities. These include cost savings and the reduced environmental impact from excessive power consumption. Well-executed strategies aligned with the proper IT management software solutions allow these companies to swiftly execute and accurately identify its benefits. Going green in IT does not necessarily require a substantial investment in new technology. Enterprise IT management software can leverage legacy and new technology investments to achieve greater efficiencies faster and at lower costs, while accurately measuring IT savings and impact on the environment.
