BADM 201 1A Spring 2013 Green Computing
What is Green Computing environmentally responsible use of computers and related resources implementation of energy-efficient central processing units (CPUs),servers and peripherals reduced resource consumption and proper disposal of electronic waste (e-waste)
In a word More directly, it means using computers or devices in ways that save the environment, save energy and save money. 4 aspects to be “Green”: Green use: Minimizing the electricity consumption of computers and other devices Green disposal: Re-making or recycling unwanted electronic equipments Green design: Designing energy-efficient computers, servers, printers and other digital devices Green manufacturing: Minimizing waste during the manufacturing of computers and other subsystems
Thin Client: a regular computer do not have to have hard drives can run the software, with the help of a server connected to servers through network example of Green computing: Thin Client A Thin Client is a computer or a computer program which depends heavily on some other computer (its server) to fulfill its traditional computational roles.
Thin-client computing is also a way of easily maintaining computational services at a reduced total cost of ownership. The most common type of modern thin client is a low-end computer terminal which concentrates solely on providing a graphical user interface to the end-user.
