Reducing Environmental Impact Through EarthSmart Computing™
Over the past few years, improving energy efficiency while minimizing the environmental impact corporations have on global warming has become a top of mind business issue (and expense) with senior IT executives. These issues have helped propel thin computing to the forefront, as a cost effective solution which leaves a very small environmental footprint. At a very high-level, thin computing offers users the benefits of consuming less power, but that’s just the beginning.
Here are just a few things to consider:
- Less materials and energy are used in production compared to a PC
- Wyse thin clients are small in size and weight which reduces the cost and energy required for transportation
- Less materials also means less to dispose of at the end of its life
- Up to 90 percent of the unit can be recycled, and up to 99 percent of the packaging can be recycled as well
- Low heat output means less power needed for air-conditioning systems
- Wyse thin clients meet stringent ISO 14001 & ROHS certification
- Meets mandatory WEEE recycling process
- Longer product lifespan over a PC – 5 to 7 years
- Wyse thin clients can be managed remotely, so maintenance and software updates can be delivered without support staff having to visit the user’s desk

Energy savings comparison: 1,000 PCs versus 1,000 thin clients
Today, thin clients, when coupled with modern servers are more ecologically friendly than PCs alone, and far better than PCs with servers. Consider this example: 1,000 PC users versus the same 1,000 thin client users connected to a centralized server environment over a one year period.
| Taking into account the thin clients and servers, the thin client installation delivers the following benefits*: |
|
- 90 percent less energy used each year
- 131,810 fewer Kw/H used each year
- $11,784 (U.S.) saved in energy costs per-year
- 102 fewer tons of CO2 put into the environment each year
- 27 fewer tons of e-waste after six years of use
- Substantially less air conditioning needed
- Less "noise" pollution in user areas
