DESCRIPTION
What was the last touch point you had with a product or promotion that was Green? My guess is the answer was probably sometime this morning. The green movement is happening and whether we are ready or not it has crept into IT. I’ll discuss why this is happening now, what it means when we say “Green IT”, and how you’re going to be affected and what you can do.

Agenda
• What is Green IT?• Green IT adoption on the rise• Where to start• Can ITIL help?
What is Green IT?
• “the study and practice of designing, manufacturing, using, and disposing of computers, servers, and associated subsystems… efficiently and effectively with minimal or no IMPACT on the environment”
Why now?
“The energy use of the nation’s servers and data centers doubled from 2000 to 2006… under current efficiency trends, national energy consumption by servers and data centers could nearly double again by 2011. “
“By 2010, for every $1 spent on hardware, 70 cents will be spend on power and cooling. By 2012, for every $1 spend on hardware, $1 will be spend on power and cooling…”
