Everything you wanted to know about green IT (but were afraid to ask)
Regular readers will know that over the past few months BusinessGreen has run a series of live web seminars on the emergence of the green IT department in conjunction with its sister titles IT Week and Computing.
Covering the reasons for more environmentally-friendly IT kit, the best practices for deploying such technologies, the companies that are already embracing green IT and the most responsible means of disposing of old kit this series of online discussion shows featured a broad range of expert panellists and attracted a wide audience of IT professionals.
Now to mark the end of the web seminars IT Week this week features a special report exploring the key issues raised by our panellists and detailing some of the environmental best practices IT managers should now be embracing.
You can read about why IT as an industry is leading the way in the transition towards low carbon technologies on our dedicated microsite here, read our experts' answers to viewers' green IT questions here, read the case against renewable energy-powered datacentres here, take a look at the case for virtualisation here, and get an insight into why re-using old IT kit is a greener option than recycling it here.
Also keep an eye out for an additonal special report on September 20th in BusinessGreen's sister title Computing looking at some of the IT departments that are pioneering greener business models and technologies.
