green ICT and sustainable computing

Studies indicate that electricity costs associated with communications, IT, computers and data centers are among the top five expenses across business of all sizes. According to analyst firm Gartner, IT departments spend about 5% of their total ICT budgets on energy, and this could rise by two to three times within the next five years.

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, for every watt of electricity used to power servers, data centers typically consume two to three watts on cooling

Recent surveys reveal that nearly 70% of senior managers are aware of the cost savings and positive environmental impact achieved by 'green IT and sustainable computing'. However, only 10% have actually adopted green IT strategies.

Plateau Enviro Associates follow a holistic, 'cradle to cradle' approach to helping customers of all sizes generate postive returns from greening their IT, computing and data center operations. Positive returns include electricity cost reductions, improved computing efficiencies, reduced 'carbon footprint' and positive corporate image
