whitepaper Carbon-Friendly Infrastructure: A Discussion Paper on Green ICT Strategies2008-10-22 Dimension Data
  Until quite recently many businesses, especially office-based ones, have not given much consideration to their impact on the environment. But thanks to the mounting evidence of man-made climate change, the impact that individuals and businesses have on the environment has become the most pressing issue of this decade - and potentially for many more to come. Concern for the environment has long been a key issue for heavy industrial companies, such as those in the manufacturing or transport and logistics industries. But now all businesses are being asked to examine the impact they have on the environment - also referred to as their environmental footprint - and to find means of reducing that impact.

whitepaper Green IT: Power Management2008-10-10
  Most PC users don't take advantage of even minimal power management settings. Even when the monitor is turned off on a desktop PC, or when it is set to Standby, a PC will consume almost as much energy as a fully-powered but idle PC. And a PC with a screen saver will actually consume significantly more power than an idle PC. Multiple studies have shown that almost one-third of the energy consumption of an organization's PC population is wasted as a result of PC's that are unused but still turned on. With the appropriate Green IT power management solution, organizations find that a minimal investment will allow them to save between $20 and $60 per PC, per year.

whitepaper Green IT of SPARC Enterprise Servers With Quad-Core SPARC64 VII Processor2008-10-01 IDG (International Data Group)
  Green IT is an important initiative for today's businesses, which face limited power provisioning from utility companies, especially in large cities. The "power cap" experienced by companies is a limit by which IT organizations must operate -reducing the energy "envelope" for all of the servers under management. Therefore, customers must find ways to operate within this envelope, finding energy efficiencies wherever possible.

whitepaper The Oracle European Sustainable IT Survey2008-10-01 Oracle
  At the highest level, the Oracle European Sustainable IT survey reveals a growing awareness of, and demand for, environmentally friendly IT initiatives.

whitepaper Straight Talking - This Is Not About Polar Bears2008-09-22 Quocirca
  In a recent briefing to Quocirca regarding the "Greenness" of a vendor's new hardware device the assurance was firmly made by the product manager that "They're not trying to save the polar bears or anything." Which was perhaps a wise thing to say as it is a stretch in anyone's imagination how a rack mounted mass storage device might rescue an at-risk Ursus maritimus from whatever nasty fate awaits it. If Spock were an IT analyst even his eyebrows might spasm uncontrollably with cynicism were such a claim to be made.   
whitepaper Green IT and the Bottom Line: Enhancing Enterprise-Wide Economic, Environmental, and Social Sustainability2008-09-16 KPMG International
  Exponential growth in energy consumption and costs, mounting concern over greenhouse gases and toxic waste disposal, and the major capital investment needed to expand limited data center facilities are driving increased interest and efforts around "Green IT" operations. Many large organizations already see Green IT as more than just a technology issue, acknowledging that it is in fact a fundamental business challenge with a key technology component. And while Information Technology (IT) operations face significant challenges in reducing their environmental impact, the value proposition for implementing a green strategy is also significant.
