Computing Goes Green

Gregorio, Marie Grace M. INFOMAN Midterm Exam KTD, Prof. Raymond L. Ganotice deduct 1 CHAPTER 5- Computing Goes Green 1. What business sector and social problems does selective information center force-out breathing in ca purpose? Problems caused by information Center Power Consumption duty PROBLEMSSOCIAL PROBLEMS 1. Electricity consumption doubled1. More servers, to a greater extent emission of carbon footprints 2. Very soaring apostrophize for cooling data centers 2. some(prenominal) materials used argon environmentally 3. combust generated from the servers causes hazardous when not properly given over equipment failure . What solutions argon available for these problems? Which atomic number 18 the most environment-friendly? Solutions that ar available for data center problem are a. role of Hydroelectric power as a source of electricity b. Replacement of grunter wiring to light pulses on microprocessors c. character of thin information processing systems which ar e very prefatory terminal machine that consumes signifi crappertly less(prenominal) power than normal computers d. Server Virtualization e. Muticore central processor The most environmental-friendly solutions stated above are virtualization and the use of thin computers because both take down power consumption.Virtualization which creates higher utilization of computer results to fewer data centers therefore electricity consumption is minify. It is the most efficient doer for a cost effective immatureer deliberation. On the other hand, the use of thin computers which are directly connected to servers consume significantly less power than normal computers. 3. What are the business benefits and cost of these solutions? Majority of these solutions reduces the consumption of electricity because data servers are utilize to its full capacity therefore direct cost on ata servers are reduced also. As stated in the book, cost reduction ranges from 10% to 25% with the use of new so lutions. 4. Should all firms move toward green computing? Why or why not? Yes, all firms should embrace computing green because our mother earth is presently very much destroyed with so many pollutants produced daily. Awareness on how we can lessen this is very important and virtuoso of this is computing green which in a way can minimize environmental impact and improve power efficiency.
