4. Green computing is the environmentally
responsible and eco-friendly use
of computers and their resources.
In broader terms, it is also defined as the study
of designing, engineering, manufacturing, using
and disposing of computing devices in a way
that reduces their environmental impact.
5. Minimizing energy consumption
Purchasing green energy
Reducing the paper and other consumables
used
Minimizing equipment disposal requirements
Reducing travel requirements for
employees/customers
6. Reducing our carbon footprint is a top priority
for IT Services and we have created a 'Green
Strategy' to make sure the equipment we
purchase and the services we offer contribute
to looking after the environment.
Energy Savings
Reliability of Power
7. Green use: Minimizing the electricity
consumption of computers and their peripheral
devices and using them in an eco-friendly
manner
Green disposal: Repurposing existing
equipment or appropriately disposing of, or
recycling, unwanted electronic equipment
8. Green design: Designing energy-efficient
computers, servers, printers, projectors and
other digital devices
Green manufacturing: Minimizing waste during
the manufacturing of computers and other
subsystems to reduce the environmental impact
of these activities
12. Blackle is a search engine site powered by
Google Custom search
The concept behind Blackle is that computer
monitors can be made to use less energy by
displaying much darker colors.
Blackle could save 750 megawatt hours a year
by utilizing it for CRT screens

14. Zonbu Computer is a very energy efficient PC.
It consumes just one third of the power of a
typical light bulb.
The device runs the Linux operating system
using a 1.2 GHz processor and 512 MB of RAM.
15. SUN RAY THIN CLIENT from ORACLE
Thin clients like the Sun Ray consume far less
electricity than conventional desktops
A Sun Ray on a desktop consumes 4 to 8 watts
of power.
It is particularly well suited for cost-sensitive
environments like call centers, healthcare,
education institutes etc.
