Greening
IT often equates to lowering the Total Cost
of Ownership of your IT Infrastructure and
assets whilst taking advantage of the business
benefits Greening technologies deliver.
Government and corporate organisations alike
have realised they can contribute to improving
the environment we live in whilst reducing
their bottom line.
Virtualisation
and thin client desktop technologies centre
on drastically lowering power consumption
and cooling requirements through server
consolidation and the replacement of high
powered workstations with thin client terminals.
Virtualisation represents the best means
to reduce power and waste in IT. |

The table
below shows the potential annual cost savings
based on the number of servers that are
virtualised. This only shows power and cooling
savings, and does not consider the potential
savings of reduced hardware and maintenance
costs or the reduction in system management
overheads.
