Apr 10, 2008 : Study Reveals Green IT Rising
📅 - One in five major companies around the world are currently using eco-friendly computing practices while another third plan to adopt similar techniques within the next two years, according to a report conducted and released by IT research firm Datamonitor (datamonitor.com).
The London firm's report, "2008 Trends to Watch: Green IT," anticipates an increase in interest by chief information officers and in vendor initiatives labelled as "green IT space." The report found that stricter regulatory measures and technological advances are generating renewed interest in green IT practices.
Based on a survey of 245 CIOs and IT managers, the report revealed that more than 75 percent recognize eco-friendly computing as an important element in their IT strategy. Another 15 percent said that it is their top IT priority.
"Green IT is now being driven as much by an element of business strategy as by a sense of corporate social responsibility," says Vamshi Mokshagundam, technology analyst at Datamonitor and the report's author. "Whilst green IT practices such as energy-efficient hardware, hosted infrastructure, and data center virtualization have all been around for a while now, it is only recently that companies have begun incorporating green IT in their core business strategy."
