Green IT: the Importance of Durable Technologies

Abstract

Green IT is an approach that aims to reduce the negative impact of information technologies on the surrounding environment and to encourage the use of durable technologies. This concept ensures efficient use of energy, reduction of carbon footprint and proper management of electron consumption.

The high energy consumption of information centers and IT infrastructures has a serious impact on the surrounding environment. To minimize these impacts, Green IT applies virtualization, cloud technologies and intelligent energy management systems. In addition, re-purposing of equipment and extending the life of technological equipment deteriorates ecological sustainability.

The benefits of green IT are evident both in the economic and ecological fields: companies benefit from their expenses and at the same time help to protect the surrounding environment. This approach creates opportunities for the use of more ecologically friendly and responsible technology in a long-term perspective.

Green IT plays an important role in society's struggle against ecological problems by ensuring the continuous development of technology.
