Green IT

Going green often involves the immediate thought of taming the data center, but there's plenty to do in software as well: Everything from using collaboration tools, to process automation, to monitoring your energy footprint. We talked to IBM/Tivoli Software CTO Alan Ganek and InformationWeek's head of analytics, Art Wittmann, about some of the latest trends in going green.

Checking in briefly to share a bit of awareness; ideally helping a bit in the process to raise consciousness. All increasingly can be contributors to somehow helping make positive differences relative to sustainability and increasingly enabling a world that is wiser, greener, healthier, wealthier, and more peaceful, for all. 10 out of 10, a recorded Sept '08 event you may want to look in on.

Thanks for sharing Dave. Perhaps someone has tried implementing “one power supply for an entire server rack” and could share the results.  

In any event, like a child at Christmas, thoughts of an increasingly better future before, by and beyond 2020 are exciting. The joy [ quality ] of global progress and global innovation, community and sustainability are becoming increasingly evident. This comment certainly takes no credit for wonderful efforts around the world; it does however encourage them and express gratitude including to all who exercise creativity in positive thinking and sharing. For a bit of fun, perhaps go surfing today, and catch the wave. Feel free to write a comment or post about something positive discovered along the journey, for example perhaps about the “global innovation outlook” and the pure potentiality of increasingly enabling collaborations that truly matter and can increasingly help to make positive differences in many ways. Each person can increasingly help enable intrinsic and pervasive quality, value, excellence, and simplicity. Even if simply sharing a creative well intentioned thought as a comment while they discover potential positives along their journey (e.g., perhaps comment on 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and more including perhaps an IBM Rational Quality Management Open Beta, or a concept to reality keynote on PMs revolutionizing transportation with XP vehicles, or about the related global summit on project innovation in November of this year). Keep your mind and eyes open for positive posts, webcasts and ideas.

 It may be a month or more before I visit IE again however it is nice to see the on-going interaction and sharing. 

The evolution of the Internet is inspiring, and increasingly can inspire, contributors to global community innovation. Your positive thoughts shared may help to generate increasingly better realities for all. Software, Technology, Information and People collaborating positively can help to save the world.

I'm not sure but if we switched common electrical appiances to Direct Current and had one power supply in a house would we be any greener?

I realize some appliances, the ones that have motors would run better on AC but a lot of appliances only use AC to be converted to DC.

If you had one power supply for an entire server rack it would probably be more efficient .

As 2020 draws near, and as a formalized global IT profession continues to emerge and mature beyond 2020, ideally somehow an increasingly universal interconnectedness (e.g., involving software, technology, information and human beings) will increasingly enable savings (e.g., perhaps even of the world from Green and other perspectives) thanks to an evolution increasingly enabled or supported by the Internet, and advances in quality... software quality, IT quality, and quality from all perspectives of business and life).

Very interesting video - I'm a sucker for going green, CO2 emissions, etc. but it was an interesting video in the sense that it provided with a different perspective (probably the IBM perspective) of solving (helping) the problem through the use of software.

Mr. Ganek's number of 27 watts of power to provide 1 watt of effective application use is truly eye-opener. And as Art Wittmann mentions, the idea is to try to shut down as many servers as possible, but to do that you need software and tools to effectively measure their load, and electricity consumption.

I remember that in college I did a project about measuring power consumption at a house (on a room by room basis) and putting caps on each one to try to reduce the energy bill. I'm sure the technology is there to apply the concepts they mention, what's lacking? motivation?
