What area of Green Computing does this case study address? Energy Use
What was the original situation and incented you to take action? We knew that our technology resources were very energy intensive and imposed a lot of costs on our organization. We wanted to look at ways that we could economically and proactively reduce our per computer energy footprint.
What action did you take? We deployed a very "green" fleet of high efficiency power supply HP computers and leveraged nComputing's X300 virtual desktops and have lowered our per computing seat energy costs to under $8 per year in locations where we have deployed X300's.
What are the results of these actions to go green? We are impacting energy costs positively in our organization. This is especially important as more computing resources are deployed throughout our organization.
