How can I be more energy efficient?
CNS can help you reduce the environmental impact of your ICT through the following solutions.
Power Consumption Audit & Monitoring - We can provide a detailed report on the current power consumption of your ICT infrastructure and monitor it over time, allowing you to set company power saving targets and identify when they have been met.
Efficient Product Selection - Modular and field upgradable products which the manufacturer will guarantee to support for an acceptable length of time should be selected. Products that can be upgraded when requirements or technologies change usually have the longest lifespan, and the majority of the environmental impact of a product is during the production and disposal.
Virtualisation - Replace multiple physical servers with single servers hosting multiple virtual servers.
Recycling and environmentally friendly disposal of old IT assets
Cisco Energywise - Cisco Systems have recently announced their new Energywise programme which allows Cisco network devices to report on Energy usage using standard network management tools, and power down devices when they are not required.
Solutions such as Virtual Private Networks and wireless networks will allow your company to reduce the environmental impact through the intelligent use of ICT
