Green IT saves money by doing more with less and not spending  “just to be green.”

Miller Networks Inc. will work with you to reduce the costs and energy consumption that your IT Infrastructure generates.  In all cases, we recommend conservative IT Solutions that consider the following factors in the design, implementation and service of computer network:

• PC Power Management – savings of $25 to $40 per desk top computer per year
• More of return-on-investment on  PC management  tools
• Proper utilization of existing hardware
• Decommission “dead” servers
• Clustering software
• Storage management  capacity optimization – get rid of dead storage, and reduce need to buy more/new
• Software to power down computers
• Power reduction
• Power factors in computers, large and small
• Virtualization - Consolidate and virtualize servers – not as much equipment to be maintained
• Re-allocated space and people, don’t have to eliminated them
• Energy Star PCs, Thin Clients
• Data and storage space requirements
• Construction plans - free cooling when underground
• Outsource services/managed services
• IT MOOSE:  Maintain Ongoing Operations, Systems, and Equipment

Green IT is on the rise, and even without knowing it, many plans are in the works that consider conservation of energy and costs. This is because of the trends to reduce facilities costs and the investment in more energy-efficient technology. Studies have shown that PC’s, printers, telephones, etc., consume 55% of information technology (outside a server room or data center.)
 
IT for Green is seen in the trend to use teleconferencing, teleworking, to avoid driving or flying as much as possible.
Summary recommendations:

• Green IT is becoming main stream with the primary motivation of reducing costs.
• When buying new, make sure it is more energy efficient.
• Leverage software to increase utilization and conserve power.
