Green is the new pink. Go Green. The lean-green-carbon-fighting-machine. I'd like to point out some of these eco-friendly 'do-gooders' in the IT sector: information technology and computer hardware companies across the country that are helping to alleviate our global climate crisis.
- Cisco Systems - Cisco is truly investing in the future by helping implement 'smart grid' technology across the country. The company's first foray into smart grids was with Energy Smart Miami, an initiative that will create an efficient electricity grid for the southern Florida metropolis.
- IBM - IBM recently announced a partnership with Syracuse University to build a data center that uses 50% less energy than the standard. Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) is a new metric for Data Center energy usage that is being pushed by companies like IBM and Intel.
- The company abides by strict global guidelines to offer people ways to dispose of their used networking hardware.
- Juniper Networks- Juniper Networks, a leading provider of router and switch products, recently teamed up with IBM on a new energy efficient data center in Boulder, CO. The center features cutting edge IT hardware, including virtualization computing systems and energy efficient power and cooling solutions.
- Sun Microsystems- Sun Microsystems began the practice of openly posting their energy usage statistics for consumers to view. Transparency is something that not only keeps a company in check, but lets consumers compare and rate a company's energy efficiency.
