Take Action on Global Warming with Environmentally Friendly Thin Clients 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. What most people don’t know today is that 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 environmental benefits over PCs: 90 percent less energy used each year (14,851 kW on TCs vs. 146,661 kW on PCs) 131,810 fewer kilowatts used each year $11,784 (U.S.) saved in energy costs per-year (national avg. of $0.0894 as of Dec. 2006) 102 fewer tons of CO2 put into the environment each year. This means for every 10 PCs replaced by thin clients, users will reduce one ton of CO2 from being generated into the environment. This example doesn’t even factor in the additional air conditioning costs required to cool PCs, which also produces more CO2. In addition, thin clients produce 27 fewer tons of e-waste headed for the land fill after six years of use when compared to PCs. The end result is a dramatically lower carbon footprint and a technology solution which is truly environmentally friendly. For more information visit www.wyse.com/green.
