In furtherance of its mission, The Green Grid is focused on the following: defining meaningful, user-centric models and metrics; developing standards, measurement methods, processes and new technologies to improve data center performance against the defined metrics; and promoting the adoption of energy efficient standards, processes, measurements and technologies.</p><p>Tags:The green grid</p> Posted on:17.08.2008 03:38:26 <p> http://www.thegreengrid.org/home magnebergan Sun, 17 Aug 2008 03:38:26 +0100 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_computing" target="_blank"><img src="http://simple.thumbshots.com/image.aspx?cid=1252&v=1&w=120&h=90&url=http%3a%2f%2fen.wikipedia.org%2fwiki%2fGreen_computing" alt="Green computing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia"/></a><p>Green computing is the study and practice of using computing resources efficiently. The primary objective of such a program is to account for the triple bottom line, an expanded spectrum of values and criteria for measuring organizational (and societal) success. The goals are similar to green chemistry; reduce the use of hazardous materials, maximize energy efficiency during the product's lifetime, and promote recyclability or biodegradability of defunct products and factory waste.</p><p>Tags:Green computing saving power</p> Posted on:17.08.2008 03:35:49 <p> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_computing magnebergan Sun, 17 Aug 2008 03:35:49 +0100
