There has been plenty of debate recently over IT, its impact on the environment and its record on efficiency or otherwise in consuming energy. While the discussion is certainly healthy, attempts to paint the technology industry as an arch-purveyor of evil gas-guzzlers are wide of the mark.

The credibility gap is understandable as there is a land-grab for green credentials at the moment. Part of the issue is internal to IT. Speaking at the Datacentre Energy Dynamics conference in London recently, Patrick Fogarty of engineering consultancy Norman Disney & Young had some blunt advice for those following the argument.

An interesting article about making IT green, coming together as an industry to offer solutions as the article mentions is the way forward, if the server vendor, the datacenter designer, cabinet vendor, networks and san guys could each save 5% in power utilization that would represent a significant energy saving in the big picture, one day, one day.
