Gartner call on Green issues (20-Jul-07)
There is plenty of anecdotal evidence that datacentres are running out of electrical power. Few clients are taking green considerations into account when planning their IT architecture. Retailers, financial services firms and consumer product companies are the industries most concerned about green issues. But most IT departments are not connecting their practices with their company's green aspirations.
Green issues are a fad, and many will fade away if an economic recession arrives, but climate change (a British obsession) is with us for the long term. While we lead on CO2, the Germans are ahead of us on waste and recycling. But while there is European consensus, the USA is politically divided on many green issues. The impact of IT on the environment can be divided into three categories: the Bad, the Good and the Structural. BT is advanced in its environmental philosophy and practices. The media is highly advanced in its environmental demands of business, government and society.
