Green Computing

Green computing can be defined as the study and practise of designing, manufacturing, using and disposing of computers, servers and associated subsystems with negligible impact on the environment. The essence of green computing lies in proximity with green chemistry which is directed towards the reduction in the use of hazardous materials, maximization of the efficiency of energy during the lifetime of the product and lastly, the promotion of recyclability or biodegradability of computer waste products. Some of the approaches central to green computing are:

• 1.

  Longevity of the product

• 2.

  Algorithmic efficiency of the product

• 3.

  Efficient and Effective resource allocation

• 4.

  Virtualization medium

• 5.

  Judicious Power management
