There has been an increase in the emissions of greenhouse gases in the years since the year 1980. This video discusses ways organizations can reduce carbon emissions through IT operations.

IT carbon footprint refers to the amount of energy that an IT infrastructure consumes. The kilowatt hours (kWh) can be used to measure the emission. The carbon footprint is determined by adding the desktops, laptops, and servers and multiplying that by their energy use. Due to lifestyle choices, the average person produces approximately 2 tonnes of CO2 every year. This is due to using public transport , or driving a car.

Cloud computing could aid in the reduction of carbon emissions. Cloud computing is the term used to describe the fact that data centres no longer belonged to any one company or organization. Instead, they’re divided among several entities. When you make purchases online using your credit card, it means that your purchase is stored in the cloud and the other customers have access on their own terms regardless of whether they’re at home or overseas. It helps businesses to keep costs down while also reducing the carbon footprint of their operations since less servers must be purchased and maintained in-house.

There are many options to limit the effects of IT on the natural environment. It is crucial to track your usage of resources and then take measures to reduce it. It is possible to turn off unnecessary services, and creating virtual machines that use lower priority settings for processing and memory.
