Consider: A single watt of application computing requires 27 watts of power.
The energy impact of applications and business processes is considerable. How can your applications become greener? First, you can reduce the physical resources necessary to store applications and data; second, streamline the number of systems needed to support them; and finally, effectively manage applications through their lifecycle. Business Processes are ripe for optimization as well. Model, stimulate, redesign and automate business processes to significantly reduce energy consumption and costs across the organization. In addition product development, engineering and manufacturing can be enhanced to have less energy and material waste.
