Never a better time to implement green IT solutions
The current global economic recession has squeezed IT budgets, hindered capital expenditure and generally slowed the growth of IT development. However Green IT is gaining an upside in the economic downturn, according to a report just published by independent market analyst Datamonitor, “Can Green IT Bloom in an Economic Downturn.”
“The global economic recession has spurred a paradigm shift in the way organizations evaluate, budget for and deploy green IT,” says Rhonda Ascierto, senior analyst at Datamonitor and the report’s author. “The downturn has also resulted in green IT trends for datacenters, client devices and asset lifecycle management, as well as re-shaped return on investment (ROI) models.”
It’s not difficult to understand why. By understanding what green IT actually means, you soon realise that it is an all round common sense, improved efficiency and cost cutting exercise. Virtualising servers, desktops and workstations radically cuts energy costs, reduces carbon emissions and centralises systems and software (making system maintenance, distribution of upgrades and patches etc much simpler than before). Adding on a low cost effective high availability solution considerably increases system availability at the same time.
