How much energy do your IT devices use?

Whether your priority is cutting costs or complying with new legislation, this study can help you sustainably reduce the energy your IT systems consume and the carbon emissions they produce. The study – more rigorous, more detailed, and more thorough than the simple desk-based exercises which are sometimes used – will also enable IT leaders to make informed decisions on which systems to progress with.

The study concentrates on the facts about energy consumption, and shatters some of the myths. It explains the thinking, and outlines some of the practical measures that can be taken to compare the energy–efficiency of different end-user systems. It will be of interest to those who are concerned about the environment, those who are concerned about the efficiency and effectiveness of their IT provision, and those who are concerned about the bottom line. It is the thinking person’s guide to savings at the sharp end.
