  • The C-suite is a well-known grouping of your company’s highest echelon. The CEO, CFO, and – in recent years – the CIO all handle the broad strokes of their areas within the organization. Sometimes these C-level officers are created with an individual in mind. For instance, Bill Gates turned over his CEO duties to become Microsoft’s Chief Software Architect (which I suspect is a way of saying “I founded this company, but I want to spend more time counting my money – keep cutting me a check and no one gets hurt”). But some are crafted with a specific organizational need in mind.

  • With the advent of Green IT there are numerous industries and jobs that will be created. Perhaps one of the first will be the Green Sherpa -- someone to guide you to the summit of your Green IT mountain. We had the great opportunity to speak with one such Sherpa last week -- Dave O’Hara of Green Datacenter Blog.

  • Currently the U.S. doesn’t have a national law governing e-waste. As politicians try to pass legislation, many efforts simply "run out of gas." Thankfully, lack of consistent federal legislation doesn't mean that action hasn't already been taken.

  • When we think of consolidation in terms of Green IT, our first thought is of consolidating servers. This is, to be sure, the star of Green IT. However there’s a supporting actor who has it in him to steal virtualization’s scenes. We’re talking about storage area networks (SANs).

  • Twenty years ago Sting was going on and on about saving the rain forest. Every time you'd turn around, Sting was with some group griping about deforestation. It was easy enough for many to tune out Sting and his "save the rain forest" buddies, but it turns out we should have been listening.

  • There is a certain feng shui to laying out your datacenter. It has nothing to do with putting a palm plant in an east-facing window or organizing the racks so that they all face the door. Reorganizing your datacenter can help reduce the amount of money you spend to cool it. Best of all, these changes cost you no money - you'll expend just some time and a little sweat. Chances are as your business grew, so did your dependence on technology and your data center was cobbled together rack-by-rack. The best thing to do is sit down with an empty sheet of paper (or fire up Visio) and reorganize how the datacenter is laid out.

  • During the time we were writing our Green IT book, we came across a great many new green products and solutions. The last few years have seen an explosion of general and IT-related technologies touting to help an organization be greener. As we continued our research and writing, it became clear that going green was becoming easier and easier.

  • Commented on The Wisdom of the Paperless Office

    Hi Lori, My apologies for missing that. The source for the paper stats was the May/June 2004 edition of "E: The Environmental Magazine". The url is http://www.emagazine.com/?toc&issue=68There they cite a few interviews and additional stats from Resource Recycling and The Recycled Paper Coalition both of which may be excellent sources of additional information should you be looking for related data.Regards, Anthony
