Green IT
Green IT represents the technological systems and IT services that incorporate green computing principles and take into account the triple bottom line of economic viability, social responsibility, and environmental impact. This differs from traditional or standard business practices that focus mainly on the economic viability of a computing solution.
Green IT Focuses on reduction of the use of hazardous materials such as lead at the manufacturing stage, maximized energy efficiency during the product's term of use, and recyclability or biodegradability of both a defunct product and of any factory waste.
A typical green IT Solution attempts to address some or all of these factors by implementing environmentally friendly products in an efficient system. For example, an IT manager might purchase Electronic Products Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT)-approved hardware combined with a thin client solution. As compared to a traditional desktop PC configuration, such a configuration would probably reduce IT maintenance-related activities, extend the useful life of the hardware, and allow for responsible recycling of the equipment past its useful life.
