The Advent of "Green IT"

As in every other segment - environmental concerns are gradually gathering steam - even in IT hardware. So much so, that "Green IT" will be a key focus of Gartner's annual symposium, to be held at the Darling Harbour Convention Centre in Sydney from November 20-23, 2007.

The implication is clear : "…...with the high level of political sensitivity surrounding green IT, Gartner believes its CIOs that need to take a leadership role in this area and demonstrate a degree of corporate responsibility". Expect more and more global companies to be talking this language.

One of the key products that help in achieving these GREEN objectives is Thin Clients. With their power consumption being at less than a tenth of PCs - the best way for most companies to show they care for the environment, will be to go in for thin clients.
