Overview

25sevenIT are committed to a Greener IT future. As well as being financially and environmentally beneficial, at 25sevenIT we see it as our social responsibility to move towards a Greener IT for both ourselves and our customers.

Approaching IT in an eco-friendly way will not only result in a more environmentally-friendly organisation, it will also enable your business to operate more efficiently, reduce your carbon footprint and save money on such basic costs as paper and heating and cooling.

Our Approach

To implement an effective Green IT strategy, businesses need to adopt a holistic approach and make the entire IT lifecycle greener by addressing environmental sustainability along the following four complementary paths:

• Green design — designing energy-efficient and environmentally sound components, computers, servers, cooling equipment, and data centers

• Green manufacturing — manufacturing electronic components, computers, and other associated subsystems with minimal impact on the environment

• Green use — reducing the energy consumption of computers and other information systems as well as using them in an environmentally sound manner

• Green disposal — refurbishing and reusing old computers and properly recycling unwanted computers and other electronic equipment

These four paths span a number of focus areas and activities, including:

• design for environmental sustainability

• energy-efficient computing 

• power management 

• data center design, layout, and location 

• server virtualisation 

• responsible disposal and recycling 

• regulatory compliance 

• green metrics, assessment tools, and methodology 

• environment-related risk mitigation 

• use of renewable energy sources and 

• eco-labeling of IT products

Our Services

At 25sevenIT we will work with you to develop a Green IT Strategy that sets meaningful ‘Green related’ goals and targets for IT to achieve in the short and medium term. The management of Hardware Assets from Procurement to Disposal needs to sit within this strategy which will ideally also be fully aligned and complementary to the overall corporate Green strategy.

By taking a greener approach to how you use IT and better planning from the start we can help you to achieve the following:

• Reduced energy use and therefore reduced energy expenditure

• Carbon emission reductions

• Improved corporate image

• Reduced Total Cost of Ownership

• Reduced end of life recycling costs.

• Reduce demand for oil and other fossil fuels.

• Reduce the use of chemicals and other hazardous substances.
