*Green computing* >From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_computing#mw-head>, search <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_computing#p-search> *Green computing* or *green IT*, refers to environmentally sustainable computing or IT. In the article *Harnessing Green IT: Principles and Practices*, San Murugesan defines the field of green computing as "the study and practice of designing, manufacturing, using, and disposing of computers, servers, and associated subsystems—such as monitors, printers, storage devices, and networking and communications systems—efficiently and effectively with minimal or no impact on the environment."[1]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_computing#cite_note-San_Murugesan_2008.2C_pp_24-33-0>The goals of green computing are similar to green chemistry <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_chemistry>; reduce the use of hazardous materials, maximize energy efficiency during the product's lifetime, and promote the recyclability<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recycling>or biodegradability <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biodegradation> of defunct products and factory waste. Research continues into key areas such as making the use of computers as energy-efficient as possible, and designing algorithms and systems for efficiency-related computer technologies. Thin clients contain less hardware They consume less power Avg life of a thin client is 15 years, which is 5 years for a pc Old useless systems(low configuration) can be used as thin clients without any extra cost It is ROHS(Reduction of Hazardus Substance) Certified – depends on vendor. Due to these reasons its known as green computing Number of thin clients can be upto 4000. but it depends on server model and network. for example if u want more than 1000 client, u require a mid range/high end server.
