A Note from the Editor

By Preston Gralla

Need help greening IT? If you do, GreenerComputing.com has a new resource for you -- my Inside Green IT blog at http://greenercomputing.com/insidegreenit, which just launched this week. Check it regularly, because every week I'll be posting need-to-know information such as virtualization tips, quick ways to green your data center, and my own unique point of view about green IT news.

This week, I've got plenty of posts. You'll find out how you may be able to save nearly 75 percent in energy costs by virtualizing SharePoint with VMWare, get details about a unique strategy for going green with low-powered servers, see how you can finally make it easy to configure power use on desktops and laptops, and get the inside scoop on new proposed federal e-waste legislation.

In the coming weeks, there'll be plenty more as well. So check out Inside Green IT, and send any feedback my way.
