Abstract: Because of the escalating price of power, energy-related costs have become a major economic factor for IT infrastructure and its host data centres. In addition to improving energy efficiency, companies are facing increasing pressure to reduce their carbon footprint due to EU regulations and campaigns demanding greener businesses. In this talk we will present (a) How Green IT pushes adoption of Cloud-based systems, (b) The growing interdependence of the ICT and the greenhouse gases and (c) How ICT reduces emissions of other activites.
