A practical framework for reducing IT’s environmental footprint
Green Information Technology examines the energy and infrastructure pressures associated with data-intensive computing, particularly in large enterprise environments. It brings together methods for shaping a green IT strategy across several connected areas: sustainability measurement, environmentally conscious hardware and software design, and the use of cloud computing and big data to improve operational efficiency. The book frames these topics within the practical constraints of powering and cooling centralized computing systems, making it a broad technical resource on aligning IT infrastructure with sustainability goals.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- IT professionals developing sustainability strategies for enterprise infrastructure
- Computer engineers and architects concerned with energy-efficient computing
- Researchers studying the environmental impact of emerging IT technologies

We are living in the era of "Big Data" and the computing power required to deal with "Big Data" both in terms of its energy consumption and technical complexity is one of the key areas of research and development. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that centralized computing infrastructures (data centres) currently use 7 giga watts of electricity during peak loads. This translates into about 61 billion kilowatt hours of electricity used. By the EPA's estimates, power-hungry data centres consume the annual output of 15 average-sized power plants. One of the top constraints to increasing computing power, besides the ability to cool, is simply delivering enough power to a given physical space.
Green Information Technology: A Sustainable Approach offers in a single volume a broad collection of practical techniques and methodologies fordesigning, building and implementing a green technology strategy in any large enterprise environment, which up until now has been scattered in difficult-to-find scholarly resources. Included here is the latest information on emerging technologies and their environmental impact, how to effectively measure sustainability, discussions on sustainable hardware and software design, as well as how to use big data and cloud computing to drive efficiencies and establish a framework for sustainability in the information technology infrastructure.
Written by recognized experts in both academia and industry, Green Information Technology: A Sustainable Approachis a must-have guide for researchers, computer architects, computer engineers and IT professionals with an interest in greater efficiency with less environmental impact.
