The Green IT can minimize the green house gas emission if steps are taken to reduce energy consumption at end user level i.e., PC’s, Laptops, handheld devices etc. People need to be educated of the fact how energy can be saved while using IT devices. Likewise initiatives at the network and data center level have been taken by the major companies of IT equipments. In our work we perform a comparative analysis of energy consumption by the desktop PC’s, Notebook PCs, thin clients, monitors etc, network equipments, data center. The analysis will guide us to make Green IT systems.

After the analysis of the results of the desktop PC’s, Notebook PC’s, monitors, data center and network equipments we conclude that the CO2 emission can be minimized if we take effective measures at the end user level. Proper reuse of old computers and recycling of old computers and their accessories, energy efficient design and environmental friendly components of computers, servers, data centers, network equipments and their proper cooling management including green initiatives at manufacturer level can minimize CO2 emission.
