Often, the lowest-priced equipment is so energy-inefficient that its initial advantage is negated during its first year of operation; while only slightly higher outlays will result in substantial savings very soon and for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSecond, your company needs to examine the specific equipment it has and the specific tasks for which it is used. Are your servers bigger than you need; your backups overly redundant; your work­stations, printers, scanners, copiers, and other items left on overnight and over the weekend?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThird, think long term. Disposal may seem like an issue for down the road but getting rid of old equipment can be a costly endeavor. You don't want to have to pay hefty waste-processing fees, fines, or indefinite warehousing costs. And if you've bought quality equipment in the first place, you'll find many opportunities to sell or donate it when you've outgrown it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA book not just for IT buyers but for anyone in business, from the C-suite to purchasing to public relations, \u003cem\u003eGreen Tech\u003c\/em\u003e offers practical ways to: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEncourage sensible power usage by bridging the gap between the people using the electricity and the people paying the bills\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuild the business case for adopting and executing green technology strategies across the entire organization\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduce energy and equipment costs without sacrificing customer service levels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdentify old equipment and cost-effective, energy-smart replacements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-size your equipment for the tasks at hand, including reducing or virtualizing servers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCool your data centers for a fraction of the cost you're paying now\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConduct an energy audit and establish your company's energy baseline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecycle or donate old equipment responsibly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne at a time or in combination, each idea in this book will have a noticeable impact on your bottom line--and on the world around you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lawrence Webber, Michael Wallace\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1400232554\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781400232550\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Amacom\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/06\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Lawrence Webber","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44077923270911,"sku":"9781400232550","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_44576988-6625-4415-a78d-ee90604ef104.jpg?v=1685472531","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/green-tech-lawrence-webber-9781400232550","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
