What is Green IT?
Green IT is the implementation of technological solutions that minimize energy consumption, reduce electronic waste and promote resource efficiency. Includes practices such as:
- Server and storage optimization.
- Use of renewable energy for data centers.
- Virtualization of resources and consolidation of systems.
- Responsible management of the hardware life cycle.
Sustainable digital culture
Green IT does not only depend on infrastructure, but also on people.
Fostering a sustainable digital culture within the company is key to achieving lasting results.
Some recommended practices:
- Educate employees about the responsible use of technological resources.
- Promote minimal or zero paper printing policies.
