Businesses that want to use green IT to save big bucks need to look beyond the server room and start getting creative with their business software.
Companies should stop thinking that green IT ends with ramping up server utilisation or replacing desktop PCs with thin clients, Warren Wilson, senior analyst with Ovum, told the Green IT Expo in London this week.
According to Wilson, the corporate world needs to put a greater focus on how technology can help cut the vast majority of carbon emissions that aren't produced by IT.
"Tools such as virtualisation and power management, those are relatively well understood. What has not been appreciated is the potential of enterprise software to bring about energy conservation outside of the IT arena," he said.
