From Editor’s Desk
Green IT Initiatives..........
The huge amount of computing manufactured worldwide has a direct impact on environment issues and
scientists are conducting numerous studies in order to reduce the negative impact of computing technology
on our natural resources. Companies are addressing e-waste by offering take-back recycling programs
and other solutions, with lower energy consumption and less wasted hardware.
India has long been a destination for IT manufacturers and IT-dependent companies looking for highly
educated, tech-savvy and relatively inexpensive labor. Although the IT boom in India has followed the
same pattern as in the West, signs point to a shift from the old paradigm of performance-per-dollar to
performance-per-watt as a key metric in Indian IT purchases. A report from Springboard Research
released last year predicted that cost savings will drive green IT in the coming months, and two reports
from the subcontinent seem to bear that prediction out. India is facing a significant power shortage:
demand for electricity exceeds supply by some 70,000 megawatts — for enterprise, government and
consumer use across the board — leaving companies with demanding IT needs having to power their
hardware with external diesel generators.
With regards,

Green computing is the utmost requirement to protect environment
and save energy along with operational expenses in today’s
increasingly competitive world.
Green computing is the
environmentally responsible use of
computers and related resources.
Such practices include the
implementation of energy-efficient
central processing units (CPUs),
servers and peripherals as well as
reduced resource consumption and
proper disposal of electronic waste
(e-waste).
One of the earliest initiatives
toward green computing in the
United States was the voluntary
labeling program known as Energy
Star. It was conceived by the
Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) in 1992 to promote energy
efficiency in hardware of all kinds.
The Energy Star label became a
common sight, especially in
notebook computers and displays.
Similar programs have been
adopted in Europe and Asia.
Green computing is the practice
of using computing resources
efficiently. Modern IT systems rely
upon a complicated mix of people,
networks, and hardware, as such, a
green computing initiative must be
systemic in nature, and address
increasingly
sophisticated
problems. Green computing is the
utmost requirement to protect
environment and save energy along
with operational expenses in
today’s increasingly competitive
world. But before implementing, it’s
also important to study about what
kind of energy gains and operational
gains can be achieved. Hence,
analysis of the gap between what
we have today and what we’ll have
to do is essential in order to achieve
the benefits of green computing.
Currently we are in that stage.
Also, every big change begins
from small initiatives. For instance,
we started some of the simple but

coined shortly after the Energy Star
program began; there are several
USENET posts dating back to 1992
which use the term in this manner.
Concurrently, the Swedish
organization TCO Development
launched
the
TCO
Certificationprogram to promote
low magnetic and electrical
emissions from CRT-based
computer displays; this program
was later expanded to include
criteria on energy consumption,
ergonomics, and the use of
hazardous
materials
in
construction.
Some Major initiatives
effective initiatives like setting the
power options on your computer
or in phones to switch to sleep
mode when it’s not active. When
you’re going to be away from your
PC for more than a few minutes,
setting it to stand-by mode and
turning off the monitor will save a
huge amount of energy.
Interestingly, companies in
every industry, from nonprofits to
consumer goods, are paying much
closer attention to their power bills,
as the amount spent on data center
power has doubled in the past six
years. The good news is that
computer companies are talking
about greenness and are touting
green programs nowadays.
Even consumers are now
becoming increasingly aware of
green technologies and are starting
to demand more environmentally
friendly products in their homes and
workplaces. This trend also
encompasses the vehicle market.
Automakers have been listening to
the feedback and addressing
consumer needs through cars that
have better fuel economy, have
lower emissions, and include
natural materials.
A MAIT-GTZ study points
out that India generates close to four
lakh metric tonnes of e-waste
annually, further, it is estimated that
e-waste generated in India will touch
four lakh seventy thousand metric
tonnes by 2011. The study further
says that an additional fifty
thousand metric tones is illegally
imported into the country.
However, only nineteen thousand
metric tonnes of this is recycled due
to high refurbishing and reuse of
electronics products in the country
and also due to poor recycling
infrastructure. Currently, e-waste
recycling, especially processing,
remains concentrated in the
informal sector, which due to poor
processing technologies and very
small capacities, contributes
significantly to pollution and
environmental degradation.
In 1992, the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency launched Energy
Star, a voluntary labeling program
which is designed to promote and
recognize energy-efficiency in
monitors, climate control
equipment, and other technologies.
This resulted in the widespread
adoption of sleep mode among
consumer electronics. The term
“green computing” was probably

IBM’s Green Initiative
Energy optimization is one diet
method that will curb IT’s ravenous
appetite for energy. In a data center,
55 percent of energy used goes to
power and cooling with 45 percent
used by the IT load. IT resources
use 70 percent of the energy for
power supply, memory, fans,
drives and other resources while
processors use 30 percent of the
energy. Meanwhile, utilization’s
resource usage rate accounts for 20
percent of the energy used while a
whopping 80 percent is idle. Project
Big Green addresses all of these
areas. For the data center, it can help
companies understand energy usage
and find opportunities for
improvement. For IT resources,

Government regulation, however well-intentioned,
is only part of an overall green computing
philosophy. The work habits of computer users and
businesses can be modified to minimize adverse
impact on the global environment. Here are some
steps that can be taken:
Power-down the CPU and all peripherals during extended
periods of inactivity.
Try to do computer-related tasks during contiguous,
intensive blocks of time, leaving hardware off at other
times.
Power-up and power-down energy-intensive peripherals
such as laser printers according to need.
Use liquid-crystal-display (LCD) monitors rather than
cathode-ray-tube (CRT) monitors.
Use notebook computers rather than desktop computers
whenever possible.
Use the power-management features to turn off hard
drives and displays after several minutes of inactivity.
Minimize the use of paper and properly recycle waste
paper.
Dispose of e-waste according to federal, state and local
regulations.
Employ alternative energy sources for computing
workstations, servers, networks and data centers.

VIA Technologies
Green Computing
VIA Technologies introduced
its initiative for “green computing”
in 2001. With this green vision, the
company has been focusing on
power efficiency throughout the
design and manufacturing process
of its products. Its environmentally
friendly products are manufactured
using a range of clean-computing
strategies, and the company is
striving to educate markets on the
benefits of green computing for the
sake of the environment, as well as
productivity and overall user
experience.
One of the VIA Technologies’
ideas is to reduce the “carbon
footprint” of users — the
amount of greenhouse gases
produced, measured in units of
carbon dioxide (CO2). Greenhouse
gases naturally blanket the Earth
and are responsible for its more or
less stable temperature. An increase
in the concentration of the main
greenhouse gases — carbon
dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and
fluorocarbons — is believed
to be responsible for Earth’s
increasing temperature, which
could lead to severe floods and
droughts, rising sea levels, and other
environmental effects, affecting
both life and the world’s economy.
After the 1997 Kyoto Protocol for
the United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change, the
world has finally taken the first step
in reducing emissions. The
emissions are
mainly
a
result
of
fossil-fuelburning
p o w e r
plants. (In
the United
States, such
electricity
generation is
responsible
for
38
percent of the
country’s
c a r b o n
dioxide
emissions.)VIA
aims to offer
the world’s
first
PC
products
certified
carbon free,
taking responsibility for the
amounts of CO2 they emit. The
company
works
with
environmental experts to calculate
the electricity used by the device
over its lifetime, generally three
years. From this data, one can
conclude how much carbon dioxide
the device will emit into the
atmosphere during its operation.
This estimate will serve as an
indicator, and the company will pay
regional organizations for the
‘sequestering,’ or offsetting, of the
emissions. Offsetting carbon
dioxide can be achieved in different
ways. One way is to plant trees
that absorb CO2 as they grow, in
the region in which the processors
were purchased. The necessary
amount of trees per processor is
represented by VIA’s TreeMark
rating system.
In addition, VIA promotes the
use of such alternative energy
sources as solar power, so power
plants wouldn’t need to burn as
much fossil fuels, reducing the
amount of energy used. Wetlands
also provide a great service in
sequestering some of the carbon
dioxide emitted into the
atmosphere. Although they make
up only 4 to 6 percent of the Earth’s
landmass, wetlands are capable of
absorbing 20 to 25 percent of the
atmospheric carbon dioxide. VIA is
working closely with organizations
responsible for preserving wetlands
and other natural habitats, and
others who support extensive
recycling programs for ICT
equipment. The amount paid to
these organizations will be
represented by a proportion of the
carbon-free product’s price.
Carbon-emissions control has
been a key issue for many
companies who have expressed a
firm commitment to sustainability.
Dell is a good example of a company
with a green image, known for its
free worldwide product-recycling
program. Dell’s Plant a Tree for Me
project allows customers to offset
their carbon emissions by paying
an extra $2 to $4, depending on the
product purchased.
AMD, a global microprocessor
manufacturer, is also working
toward
reducing
energy
consumption in its products,
cutting back on hazardous waste
and reducing its eco-impact. The
company’s use of silicon-oninsulator (SOI) technology in its
manufacturing, and strained silicon
capping films on transistors
(known as ‘dual stress liner’
technology), have contributed to
reduced power consumption in its
products. Amid the international
race toward alternative-energy
sources, VIA is setting its eyes on
the sun, and the company’s Solar
Computing initiative is a significant
part of its green-computing
projects.
Wipro becomes first
Indian company to
launch Eco-friendly
range of desktops
Wipro Infotech announced that
it is the first Indian company to
launch environment-friendly range
of desktops. This new range of
products named Wipro GreenWare
which includes desktops and
laptops are compliant with RoHS
(Restriction of Hazardous
substances) directive, thereby
reducing substantial e-waste to the
environment. Wipro has been at the
forefront in addressing the issue of
increasing e-waste in the
environment. Wipro has set up its
e waste management process called
Wipro Green Computing, which
spans across its product lifecycle from designing, manufacturing, right
up to the final disposal. Wipro is
now launching a range of ecofriendly hardware products and
promises to make its entire product
range of laptops and desktops
compliant with RoHS directive.
Eventually, the plan is to ensure
that all desktops and laptops from
Wipro Personal Computing would
be free of hazardous materials such
as Brominated Flame Retardants
(BFR), PVCs and heavy metals like
lead, cadmium and mercury that
have been regularly used in
computer manufacture so far.
At Last
All this is just the beginning.
So far, consumers haven’t cared
about ecological impact when
buying computers, they’ve cared
only about speed and price. But as
Moore’s Law marches on and
computers
commoditize,
consumers will become pickier
about being green. (This means
you!) Tomorrow’s bright green
computers will be different from
today’s in many ways. So far it’s
rare to see a product that pulls on
more than one solution, but the
industry is starting to move
forward—sometimes of its own
accord, sometimes dragged kicking
and screaming by regulations and
consumer activism.
Devices use less and less power
while renewable energy gets more
and more portable and effective.
New green materials are developed
every year, and many toxic ones
are already being replaced by them.
The greenest computer will not
miraculously fall from the sky one
day, it’ll be the product of years of
improvements to this and that along
the way.

Environmental Sustainability Revolution
John Mehrmann, Vice President,
Business Development, ZSL Inc
The industrial revolution
enabled the mass production of
goods, products, and consumer
electronics devices. The technology
and information revolution enabled
incredible sharing of mass
communication and knowledge with
access across a World Wide Web.
The increasing demand for
technology products fueled the ever
growing industrial production.
Today we are experiencing an
environmental sustainability
revolution. There is an emerging
awareness of the impact of the
hazardous electronic waste and byproducts of industry that have been
created as a result of discarded
technology products, and an
awareness of our responsibility to
recycle. By harnessing the
incredible power of information
access,
tracking,
and
communication, we can use this
technology to create global solutions
with diverse regional applications.
Recycling completes the cycle of
creation, utilization, destruction,
and
reutilization.
During
economically
challenging
conditions, manufacturing and
production slow, but do not stop.
An insatiable appetite for new
devices and upgraded consumer
electronics fuels a relentless demand
for natural resources. It is a case of
supply and demand. As natural
resources are aggressively mined
and consumed, the price for raw
materials continues to increase
proportionately. The cost of the
raw materials is aggravated by the
additional burden of the machinery
to acquire it, the energy to refine it,
and the freight to move it between
the multiple locations for handling
it. The value of the minerals rises
dramatically as the landscape to
acquire it is gradually depleted.
Consumers and a competitive
market require continual efforts to
reduce prices. The manufacturing
process has been automated.
Freight and supply chains have been
consolidated and compressed. The
last refuge to substantially reduce
the cost of production lies in
reducing the cost of materials. A
renewable resource for previously
refined materials lies in the recycling
of the products, parts, and
materials of discarded electronic
devices. Reclaiming materials from
recycled products reduces demand
for natural resources, mitigates
hazardous electronic waste, reduces
costs to refine the materials, and
subsequently creates lucrative new
business opportunities for
companies processing it.
Several countries have initiated
regulations to monitor and control
the proper handling, reuse, or
disposal of electronic waste.
Countries that are slow to adopt
regulations are in constant danger
of becoming the dumping grounds
for hazardous waste from regions
around the globe that have devised
policies to export the dangerous
substances. Countries that invest
in establishing robust recycling
activities are rapidly becoming the
source for materials and resources
of the future. Developing control
of reusable material is more than a
merely environmentally friendly
solution. It is strategic leverage in
the next generation of the global
economy. Encouraged by a desire
to contribute to environmentally
conscious
solutions,
and
recognizing the abundance of
opportunities in burgeoning new
business
associated
with
sustainability, Zylog Systems
Limited has studied diverse global
requirements and impact associated
with recycling e-waste. Collectors
gather electronic waste, and deliver
retired products to recyclers.
Recycling centers separate and
process materials reclaimed from
the retired products, occasionally
sending the materials downstream
to other vendors to maximize the
yield. Regional regulations are very
often diverse and difficult to manage.
A complex community of
constituents participating as
independent and competing
businesses creates multiple
opportunities for Zylog Systems
Limited to contribute technology
solutions for collaboration,
operational performance, tracking,
and control. After extensive
research, Zylog Systems Limited
(ZSL Inc) began work on Recycle
Accelerator. Recycle Accelerator is
a technology platform that
empowers recyclers and collectors
to achieve peak performance. The
software solution enables
subscribing recyclers to plan routes
and dispatch trucks in an efficient
manner that reduces freight and
maximizes manpower. The
platform provides robust receiving,
warehouse management, and
tracking of shipments to manage the
complex redistribution of products,
parts, and materials. The processing
of products and parts into materials
presented complex challenges for
developing warehouse and
inventory management software.
Tracking and controls rely on a
combination of unique serialized
product, monitoring the age and
movement of accumulated
substances,
and
material
management by weight. Identifying
the yield of various substances by
product can be essential to
protecting profitability as the value
of the reclaimed materials fluctuates
dramatically. Simplifying and
automating transactions between
departments and partners reduces
operational costs and further
protects profits. To compliment
Recycle Accelerator, Zylog
Systems Limited has designed
smaller, less expensive subscription
services that enable collectors to
mange internal operations and
connect directly with participating
recyclers. Creating an integrated
data communications network of
recyclers and collectors has
provided an opportunity to
streamline business and improve
performance for all participants.
A powerful feature of the
Recycle Accelerator platform is the
unique ability to accommodate
business,
regulatory,
and
compliance requirements around the
globe. The ability to track and
monitor the movement of products,
parts, and materials is absolutely
essential for good governance. The
ability to track downstream activity
is reassuring for corporations and
individuals, extremely important
for government agencies, and
discourages potential abuse or theft.
Furthermore, the platform enables
government bodies from different
regions to collaborate on tracking
electronic components and
potentially hazardous waste.
