Enchantment of Green Computing and Its Optimization

Many efforts have been made by the community and the world to maintain and rebuild the earth so that it becomes a friendly and livable place. One of the efforts of the global community is the adoption of "17 Sustainable Development Goals" by 193 UN member states since 2015.

"Clean and Affordable Energy," in 17 Sustainable Development Goals is a supporting factor for Green Computing. Green computing itself is the behavior of using computing resources efficiently, by maximizing energy, extending hardware life, minimizing paper usage, and several other technical matters.

"The main goal of green computing is the earth, people, and profit or profit. Green computing emerged, not only in line with rising energy costs and storage potential, but also because of the impact on the environment. Green Information Technology (IT) is very closely related to the issue of climate change (Climate Change), "explained Sujarwo, Marketing Director of Vcloudpoint Indonesia (Rep) during OSS Indonesia

Sujarwo then explained the relevance of IT in the context of climate change. That IT uses a large amount of energy. And as an illustration; electrical energy a desktop computer (PC) consumes 868 KW per year. If the company's industry uses 20,000 PCs, the energy used is equivalent to 12,467 metric tons of carbon dioxide (C02) gas. The carbon dioxide gas is equivalent to gas emissions from 2,384 vehicles, or fuel consumption of 28,994 barrels, or the use of 1,619 household electricity for a year.

"The calculation illustration is only from one company and only PC devices. Not including other devices such as air conditioning (AC) and others. And green computing offers a solution to this problem, "said the man who is familiarly called Wowok.

On the same occasion F Erryono from PT Prima Digital Solusindo explained that there are 3 key areas in Green IT, convinced that Energy Efficiency, Handling of electronic waste, and How the use of information technology can help solve environmental problems. At the stage of ralizing the concept of green IT with vcloudpoint this can be done with a virtualization approach:

- Power management; reduce the number of physical servers, replace virtual servers, consume only one server.
- Material recycling; material recycling process must be environmentally friendly.
Ecomm Telecommuting; the principle of working remotely reduces mobility, energy consumption.
