Green IT
Task 1- Overview and sketch identifying and implementing e-business innovation
One of the most fundamental steps we should take when trying to green your IT environment is to perform an energy consumption
analysis. First of all we have to create a baseline in order to estimate annual energy use by our company or school. This is easy to do by
taking an inventory of the energy consumption of your current IT hardware such as
Desktop PCs
Monitors
laptops,
Servers’ equipment and other networked peripherals such as printers and scanners.
Compare the business with e-businesses –
The term electronic business was first introduced by IBM in 1997 However, many experts agree to use the word ‘e-business’ as an
definition to a set of automated business processes that is constructed on certain electronic networking technologies such as
internet. List of business process
materials to production/ product development
production to stock holding
delivery of products
Distribution and logistics/delivery of core services
sales and marketing/ market development
After sales, invoicing/debt collection and customer service
Convenience:
Internet offers the convenience of '24 hours × 7 days a week × 365 days' a year business that allowed A and B to go for
shopping well after midnight. Such flexibility is available even to the organizational personnel whereby they can do work
from wherever they are, and whenever they may want to do it.
Movement towards a paperless society:
Use of internet has considerably reduced dependence on paperwork and the attendant 'red tape. Most Government
departments and regulatory authorities are increasingly moving in this direction whereby they allow electronic filing of
returns and reports. In fact, e-commerce tools are effecting the administrative reforms aimed at speeding up the process of
granting permissions, approvals and licences.
Speed:
As we all know buying or selling involves exchange of information that internet allows at the click of a mouse. This benefit
becomes all the more attractive in the case of information-intensive products such as software’s, movies, music, e-books and
journals that can even be delivered online. You know that in the digital era, money is defined as electronic pulses at the
speed of light, thanks to the electronic funds transfer technology of e-commerce.
Global reach/access:
Internet is truly without boundaries. On the one hand, it allows the seller an access to the global market; on the other hand,
it affords to the buyer a freedom to choose products from almost any part of the world.
The Green IT business market currently providing support to enterprise companies but with e-business, support can be provided to
individuals
Identify e-business opportunities for innovation and reform
Information and content provider:
This is where the writer and publishers comes out. The World Wide Web has turned publishing fiasco. By giving writers and
publishers to create a publication without investing on printing press, ink or paper which will be good for the environment.
Telecommunications / Distance learning:
Distance learning and telecommunication had made life easier for employee as they don’t have to travel offsite to get skill
hand which help companies to reduce the cost of the employee accommodation an expenses d travel .
– Allows business to implement Power management system to reduce energy costs by 80% in the data centre.
pay per view shows, broadcast TV shows through the internet. Browse and search the web through your TV, play and pause
streaming video on your television, which can give client high satisfaction since they can watch their favorite shows on a bigger
screen than their computers.
Implement e-business innovation –
The business may set-up a website of a face front shop for customer support and product recommendation.
It consists of combining existing technology by implementing Green IT with Power management System.
YouTube is another good way to implement your e-business, there are million viewers of YouTube all over the world
everyday by uploading the view we have on the website to YouTube, YouTube users can see what are the benefits of
implementing Green IT.
Portable 4D technology will be developed for home/consumer use whereas previously only implemented in entertainment
places such as Universal Studios.
Green IT technology will be developed for home, School, collages and other enterprise consumer use
Whereas previously it was only implemented incorporate companies’ places such as government education departments.
In order to implement this E-business innovation, the E-business owner has to invest on hosting a website to establish the
new technology in Green IT to give information to the whole world about the green technology. The website will include the
preview video of the new Green technology, the video will include about what is the new technology about, what it does,
what benefit it will do to you, what experiences you gain when you purchase or rent the product. Also the video will have the
compatibility information so that customers and client will know if this particular product is compatible to their existing
entertainment setup.
The following are the initiatives for implementation e-business under planning strategy.
i) Planning for infrastructure change management
ii) Planning for availability
iii) Providing accelerated successful implementation
iv) Developing IT management systems
v) Providing organization capacity planning and design.
vi) Planning and designing e-business infrastructure strategy and architecture
The following are the initiatives for implementing e-business under integrating strategy.
i) Integrating strategic enterprise wide applications
ii) Providing knowledge management and joint services to influence corporate and external data.
iii) Providing solutions to deliver end-user self-service
iv) Providing application services for industry oriented business applications.
The following are the initiatives for implementing e-business under Managing and
Operating IT business units for optimize performance of e-business.
i) Coordinating the activities of IT and business teams
ii) Designing and optimizing Web infrastructure to improve business performance
iii) Providing the service delivery infrastructure to support production and making decision about outsourcing.
Task 2- Project feasibility report
1) Business Problem:
Problem that we are facings today is how we can make our IT environment Greener! The word Green IT refers to environmentally sustainable
computing or IT
set of processes and approaches designed to make data centre’s more efficient
This means reducing the power and cooling required.
Reduce energy costs by 80%.
Power down servers without affecting applications or users
Green your data centre while decreasing costs and improving service levels
There are lots of software packages /products out there in the market for power management system, as well as for reducing data center
(virtualization) to make our school and enterprise IT environment Greener.
2) Current Situation:
Currently the school does not have any software or any kind of hardware to control it power used by computers
3) Approach Overview:
The proposed solution is to install GPO (Group policy object) power management software in the school computer to reduce the power cost
One easy way to green your school or your IT Department is to implement PC power management software.
Power management software simplifies the process of implementing power management policies across a large network of
PCs.
Power management software will decrease your energy costs while also decreasing the amount of CO2 released into the
atmosphere.
4) Potential Solutions:
The school could buy virtual software to keep all of the data on it or buy new hard ware with less power consumption.
5) Description of the solution:
The school would implement Group polices:
The power management policies are located in Power Management, under Computer Configuration | Administrative Templates |
System | Power Management. Note that there are no power management policies under User Configuration in Windows Vista.
6) Resources for solution:
For power management system the system admin of the school would implement the power management policies that are located in Power
Management, under Computer Configuration | Administrative Templates | System | Power Management
For the virtual application all the school needs is to install the application on their servers and install the additions software that the school uses
into the virtual application desktop. Or another solution that school could use is to buy all of the hardware with less power consumption
7) Benefit/Cost of solution:
For the Virtual Application solution it would cost the school $133,500.00 for 500 clients with 1 years 12/5 support they would also save money
by not having to upgrade their desktop computers ever. For the second option the school would have to buy all the new hardware that would
cost them easily over $ 300,000 just for a school.
Second t solution is the cheapest solution of all would be is to install GPO and keep all the hardware that are currently in use by the school this
would be the best solution for all the developing country Power management software simplifies the process of implementing power
management policies across a large network of PCs. It enables the company to take control over the entire network, monitoring how long PCs
are allowed to stay on while inactive, at what time PCs will be shut down at the end of a shift, and at what time PCs need to power up in order to
install updates. This enables companies to implement power-saving strategies for little cost and with little effort and maintenance from the IT
Department.
8) Payback/Return on Investment of solution:
The ROI on the first solution would be depending on the amount of software that the school has would be one year
9) Schedule of solution:
Second solution would take about 1-2 days no more than that if this is only for one branch otherwise it would be depended on how many groups
you are creating for each department of the school.
For the first solution it would take about 1 week to install the virtual application on the server and deploy it on every computer in the school the
10) Reason to abandon this solution:
While this solution is good there is a concern because it will cost over $100000 and so is very expensive also that cost is for one year only and if
the school doesn’t have that much software then they are going to lose money and the second solution would be more appropriate.
11) Preliminary Recommendations
The first & third solution would be more suited for the cooperate companies provided that they have the money and they have a lot of software
to licence, the second solution would be better if they only have a few software and they don’t have the resources to go ahead with the first
solution, the third solution is not recommended because it is costly for developing country schools.
12) Recommended solution:
I would recommend the second solution to install the GPO (group policy object) on the server and distribute it across the network to the desktop
computers
13) Recommendation justification:
The second solution is not expensive at all it just some click away to call your school green IT .power management software can reduce a PC’s
power consumption by as much as 80 percent, saving companies from $25-$75 per desktop PC
