Green IT for dummies

The “for dummies” series have also got into the “green” world.  After a previous posting discussing Elizabeth May’s book on Global Warming For Dummies, I came across a new book called Green IT for Dummies.  This is hot off the press, only published on April 14th, 2009.  An overview taken from Amazon.ca website listed the following main topics: 

  • Green technology for computing hardware and software capable of reining in the costly, environmentally unfriendly waste that businesses and organizations generate;
  • Focus exclusively on using green technology to help businesses improve their energy consumption and benefit the environment;
  • Discusses topics such as power-management software, servers and storage solutions, datacenter cooling, virtualization and consolidation technology, smart tools for managing lighting, collaboration tools to reduce the need for travel, and more;
  • This guide provides an overview of what green technology is, what problems it can (and can’t) solve, and how businesses or organizations might go about planning and implementing green technology solutions; and
  • Also demonstrates how green technology will benefit the business with lower energy costs.

Maybe I’ll flip through it next time I’m at a Chapters….
