The Green IT Perspective

By Preston Gralla

You're an IT pro, so you're quite familiar with the basics of Green IT. You know the benefits of virtualization, and may be knee deep in a project already. You know about blade servers and how to more efficiently cool data centers. You know the importance of power savings on individual PCs.

Get ready for your world to change. As I write in my blog "Get Ready for Green IT 2.0," there's a new wave of Green IT headed your way, and it's very different from what you know. Instead of looking at the data center or technology alone, it looks at the very heart of a business, its business processes and way it works. It will be integrated deeply into enterprise-level software, including SAP. So if you want to ride the way rather than be swamped by it, check out "Get Ready for Green IT 2.0."
