An Investigation of the Energy Consumption by Information Technology Equipments

The World Wide Web and the rise of servers and PC's data centers have become a major position in the overall power consumption of the world. In order to prevent global warming and ensuing disasters, already Internet-service providers, hosting providers on green power have changed. Even household energy suppliers offer green electricity from renewable energy such as wind, solar, biomass and hydro, which emits no carbon dioxide, to stand against global warming. Only a global change for the information technology can prevent the global-warming. The switch to renewable energy is the beginning of our future and must be pursued as well as the research and development in information and communication technology.
