Book synopsis

Making IT Sustainable: Techniques and Applications delves into how energy efficiency improvements and renewable energy use in Information Technology (IT) or broader – in Information Communications Technology (ICT) – can contribute to the goal of remediating the impact of climate change. New technologies to reduce the IT carbon footprint are investigated and new methods of server high-density liquid cooling and intelligent power management in data centers are discussed. The book asks several insightful questions: How can environmentally sustainable data centers be built? How do we compare the carbon footprint of data centers versus public cloud, and cloud-focused IT sustainability standards? As growth in data traffic such as video streaming requires additional internet infrastructure, leading to higher emissions, how is this challenge being addressed and how can we improve energy efficiency in IT such as Adiabatic Reversible Computing, use of direct current, and dematerialization are discussed? For many companies and organizations, IT sustainability is becoming important in the environmental category of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). This book provides actionable, practical information for IT companies to develop their IT sustainability programs. IT directors and managers responsible for these programs will find the book useful. As pros and cons of various technology solutions for achieving IT sustainability are critically reviewed in detail, the book can serve as a practical guide for IT professionals working on implementing IT sustainability solutions. Presents various initiatives to address IT sustainability, looking at approaches for improving energy efficiency in IT such as Adiabatic Reversible Computing, use of direct current, and dematerializationFocuses on the design of sustainable IT systems and aims to be solution orientedReviews innovations in software development that contribute to GHG emission reductions such as Rust programming languageInvestigates innovations in data center technologies, green software, adiabatic reversible computing, and cloud computing
