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.
