The Greening of IT
68 How Companies Can Make a Difference for the Environment

■ Many IT companies and governments are addressing the situation from
end to end—at the server end through power management features and
at the data center end through integrated IT/facilities modular solutions.

Although governments have a vital role in the push to green IT, complete
success requires the continued collaboration among many groups including
your company, IT technology vendors, data center design and build busi-
nesses, energy utilities, governments, and organizations such as The Green
Grid and the Uptime Institute. As mentioned at the end of Chapter 3,
almost everyone can collaborate on green IT, because almost everyone is a
user of IT through PCs, the Internet, cell phones, and so forth.
