PORTLAND, Ore. -- By expanding the sales network for the energy efficient and low-toxic computer products to channel resellers, the group behind the green IT rating label aims to help support existing environmental computing goals and make it easier for new companies to board the bandwagon.

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM -- Three months after launching energy management software to help U.S. consumers cut their PC energy use, Verdiem introduced the free software to the United Kingdom market.

OAKLAND, Calif. -- ICT could also save the country up to $240 billion from gross energy and fuel savings, according to research from The Boston Consulting Group and The Climate Group released Tuesday. The groups unveiled the U.S. addendum to a previously released report called "SMART 2020: enabling the low carbon economy in the information age," which used a global scope.
A recent survey by solution provider Logicalis found that a whopping 86% of IT managers make decisions based on saving money rather than on helping the environment. On first blush, that doesn't seem to be good news for green IT. In fact, though, it's very good news, because those money-saving measures are generally good for the environment as well.
The survey found that almost 88% of respondents have either used virtualization technologies, or plan to do so in the next year. And about 85% have already consolidated and reduced their server count, or plan to in the next year.
Virtualization and reducing server count are two of the easiest and most effective ways to reduce energy consumption and green a data center.
The end result? Most IT managers are accidental environmentalists. By tending to the bottom line, they're greening their data center as well.
By the way, Logicalis has a free online tool for figuring out potential energy savings in your data center using virtualization. Sure, it's a sales pitch, but it's useful as well, so you might want to give it a try.
