We are living in the era of "Big Data" and the computing power
required to deal with "Big Data" both in terms of its energy
consumption and technical complexity is one of the key areas of
research and development. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
estimates that centralized computing infrastructures (data centres)
currently use 7 giga watts of electricity during peak loads. This
translates into about 61 billion kilowatt hours of electricity
used. By the EPA's estimates, power-hungry data centres consume the
annual output of 15 average-sized power plants. One of the top
constraints to increasing computing power, besides the ability to
cool, is simply delivering enough power to a given physical space.
Green Information Technology: A Sustainable Approach offers in a
single volume a broad collection of practical techniques and
methodologies for designing, building and implementing a green
technology strategy in any large enterprise environment, which up
until now has been scattered in difficult-to-find scholarly
resources. Included here is the latest information on emerging
technologies and their environmental impact, how to effectively
measure sustainability, discussions on sustainable hardware and
software design, as well as how to use big data and cloud computing
to drive efficiencies and establish a framework for sustainability
in the information technology infrastructure. Written by recognized
experts in both academia and industry, Green Information
Technology: A Sustainable Approach is a must-have guide for
researchers, computer architects, computer engineers and IT
professionals with an interest in greater efficiency with less
environmental impact.
