World Environment Day is an opportunity to put IT teams at the forefront of cutting company energy consumption, says Rajesh Ganesan, President at ManageEngine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGiven our growing reliance on digital channels to work, play and live and the staggering rise of technologies such as AI, we need to spend World Environment Day focusing on how to reduce the environmental impact of these activities,\u201d Ganesan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stressing that this didn\u2019t risk IT teams being overwhelmed, Ganesan outlined \u2018small steps\u2019 that could be considered to cut consumption \u2013 citing the example of setting up power management policies that automatically put devices in sleep mode or shut them down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFor every 1,000 computers, 30-50 watts of power are typically consumed per screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf left switched on overnight and on weekends (which is about 128 hours), this would consume approximately 25kWh per month per screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cApplying power management across an organization\u2019s endpoints is also cost-effective. According to a study, turning off 1,000 computers annually when they\u2019re not in use can save up to US$30,000,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
