Other actions we can take include adjusting cooling systems to the numbers of servers actually active; using heat exchangers to cool server farms and heat nearby homes; more efficient data switching / networking and using solar power from local units; separating sections of IT rooms to run at different ambient temperatures according to equipment need; place air conditioning units closer to equipment to reduce distance air has to ...

Electrical power used in gadgets, computers and other equipment: mobile phone power supplies, wireless router, computers, plasma screens, digital TV receivers and so on. 1 trillion kilowatt hours of electricity was used last year to power the web 5.3% of all global power use and 9.4% of electricity consumption in the US. Video by futurist keynote conference speaker Patrick Dixon. Web traffic will grow 40-100 times over next 15 years, mainly as a result of video on demand. Web servers consume more than 1% of global electricity, growing 14-20% a year. 50,000 square feet data centre uses 5 megawatts enough to power more than 5,000 homes. Web servers in large data centres across America use the equivalent of a full years output from seven 1,000 megawatt power plants. Green IT means more efficient power supplies; power management software (Windows Server 2008, but Linux does better); more efficient chips; better cooling systems; better use of fibre-optics, turning additional servers on and off, adjusting cooling systems to the numbers of servers actually active; separate sections of IT rooms at different ambient temperatures; placing air conditioning units closer; using heat exchangers to cool server farms and low energy lighting. Virtual Servers to save energy. Virtual setup allows multiple operating systems and applications to run on same computers not x86 computer hardware. IT infrastructure sharing servers like Norton / Symantec for backup. Plasma screens use four times as much energy as old cathode ray tube displays / TVs. Equipment left on standby which wastes 5 million tons of CO2 every year in the US alone. Attention to disposal and recycling reducing the amount of toxins used in manufacture, reducing lead, cadmium and other pollutants in circuit boards, connectors, batteries and components, and enabling 100% capture after disposal. Hazard reduction in manufacture. More than 1,000 chemicals used during electronics production, such as lead, mercury and cadmium, have been linked to cancer, reproductive problems and other illnesses. Apple has banned a long list of toxic substances from its products, including asbestos, cadmium, mercury and lead. In 2006, the company stopped using CRT monitors, which contain lead oxide and barium. Apple also removed lead from its batteries and has ended use of brominated flame retardants and polyvinyl chloride. Intel has already reduced use of substances which contribute to global warming and is working to replace isopropyl alcohol, a volatile solvent known to contribute to smog, used to clean the edge of silicon wafers during manufacturing. Hewlett-Packard has taken a lead, with 250 million pounds of hardware and print cartridges recovered in 2007, double the previous year. Their target is to reuse 2 billion pounds of products by the end of 2010. Tags: technology it computers global warming carbon pollution green energy saving business communications economics |

Impact on banking profits from global economic chaos, recession and collapse in bank share prices. Retail banking, corporate banking, wholesale banking and investment banking will become profitable again. Economy Video by keynote conference speaker Dr Patrick Dixon . The banking crisis will lead to further consolidation, cuts in retail outlets and staff redundancies. This will remove competition from the market and allow greater profit margins over things like commercial loans and mortgages or current account bank charges. Coupled with cost-savings, this will result in healthy profits in future. Banking share prices are in turn likely to show recovery, which could also mean that the end cost of expensive government rescue packages may be less than feared, if they involved providing banks with equity in return for shares. Taxpayers may actually make a gain from their public ownwership of slices of banks. While huge remuneration for CEOs and Chairman of banks will come under scrutiny, and while regulation will be stricter, we can expect rewards for the most skilled bankers to once again be very generous. Interest rate cuts will also help banks indirectly by stimulating the businesses they lend to and helping to take the edge off a long recession.
