Upside of a Down Economy is Green IT

The global economic recession is reshaping the way vendors and end-user organizations assess and utilize sustainable and environmentally friendly computing. There has been a paradigm shift in the way organizations evaluate, budget for, and deploy green IT. Organizations no longer regard green IT and cost-effective outcomes as mutually exclusive. The nature of green IT is to consume a minimum of resources, meaning cost savings and increased efficiency for organizations. A recent report from Datamonitor shows that the economic downturn will be a boon to green IT vendors as organizations increase green IT adoption to reduce costs.

Business centers are the next frontier of data center virtualization. Organizations that face  limitations, such as a shortage of floor or rack space, are looking to software or outsourcing alternatives, such virtualization software, cloud computing and software as a service. Datamonitor’s report “Can Green IT Bloom In an Economic Downturn?” is available for purchase at their Web site.
