GREENING OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES TECHNIC

Abstract

The concept of sustainable development is the realizationof the idea, which now and in the near future will play a keyrole in the development of global community. Practical introduction of sustainable development in human life is made by through information technology. Greening of knowledge and experience associated with the spread to the information technology the general principles and requirements of environmental applications, production and use of technicalobjects of sustainable development. Such information technologies are called green. The problems of Green IT isdivided into three components: organization of "green enterprise", including optimization of supply, improvement of production cycle, using video-conferences and mobile devicesin order to reduce the need for movement of staff; minimizingof physical pollution of environment; minimizing energy costsof data centers and personal computer systems.

It is necessary to make the procedure "greening" for the entire IT industry. The process of planting should be done by producing innovative solutions for technology. One of these solutions is a method of greening that is offered in the article. Greening of information technology consists of the following stages: monitoring – carried out the study of environment for greening, definedelements that are not green; planning - planned activities for greening. The means to eliminate defects are chosen to address issuedthat were identified in the previous step; implementation – performing of actions that were planned; assessment - assessing theresults of greening techniques.

The following conclusions could be made. There are two type of stimulus for greening. First, greening for reputation. Reputationplays important role for them. Therefore, in such companies greenness and energy saving can be used as a means of improving the company's image. Second, the ratio of effort. It seems that electricity bills in the company are small compared with other expenses. As for other technic of greening, it is important for companies that effort and money spent on greening is justified.
