Green IT

What is Green Information Technology?

As an IT provider in the heart of the area driving clean tech revolution, Moyo Group is aggressively building our Green IT knowledge and practices for the benefit of our clients. Green IT isn’t quite as easy as adding a recycling bin to the break room. It needs to be designed in through consistent planning and attention, like the kind we bring to every project and managed services client.

Green = $$Greeen$$

Real motivation for companies to adopt green IT practices comes from the financial incentives. Practical cost saving opportunities are evident in several areas

• Reduce energy consumption and data center costs through server virtualization and consolidation
• Save on energy costs with energy efficient servers and PCs
• Reduce travel costs by deploying new communication technologies like video/web conferencing
• Reduce employee commute time remote access tool to enable telecommuting
• Reduce printing costs through common sense policies

How To Get There

Green IT is a moving target, but certainly involves many best practices impacting the selection and implementation of equipment and services, including:

• Include Green IT considerations as a criteria in all plans and designs
• Benchmark energy usage and adopt energy savings goals
• Retire older machines with poor power management and move workloads onto virtual servers
• Consider using alternative data centers with green power for hosting needs
• Implement a recycling program for retired IT equipment
