Abstract
Introduction
The global economic recession is reshaping the way vendors and end-user
organizations assess and utilize sustainable and environmentally friendly
computing. There has been a paradigm shift in the way organizations evaluate,
budget for, and deploy green IT.
Scope of this research
- Provides a comprehensive analysis of the paradigm shift within the global
green IT market as a result of the broader economic downturn.
- Delivers insight into the drivers of green IT and how motivations for
green IT deployment by end-user organizations have changed.
- Details environmentally sustainable trends for datacenters, client devices
and asset lifecycle management.
- Provides insight into future green IT trends, once the economic recovery
takes hold.
Research and analysis highlights
Organizations no longer regard green IT and cost-effective IT as being
mutually exclusive.
Green IT that eliminates the need for capex, such as datacenter
virtualization, datacenter design and layout, and asset lifecycle management,
will become increasingly important as IT budgets remain constrained.
Organizations that face critical datacenter limitations, such as a shortage of
floor or rack space, are looking to software or outsourcing alternatives, such
virtualization software, cloud computing and software-as-a-service.

evolution, and vendor approaches.
- Garner unique perspective into the various ways the green IT market has
adapted and evolved in response to broader business conditions.
- Gain valuable green IT recommendations for vendors and end-user
organizations.
