Is "Green IT" a social message or business imperative?
|
The answer is "yes" to both. Green IT is an umbrella term that can be defined a number of different ways. The PDS approach to Green IT is the pursuit of a more efficient way of doing business using a general corporate mandate to reduce its total impact to the environment.
At PDS, our guiding principle is to always help our clients "get out of IT," forcing them to step back, away from the technology and see the bigger picture. As the largest, privately owned IT solution provider in the region, our clients rely on us to:
- Provide a better experience for their end-user
- Improve their total cost of ownership from the data center to the desktop
- Help them become more competitive through innovation and improved technologies
- Continuously increase the ROI for all their IT investments
As a result, PDS helps enterprise organizations adapt to changing environments, whether it's environmental, economical, rapid growth or geographical expansion. By improving the efficiencies within IT, IT organizations can now provide a better way of doing business that's not just easier on the bottom line, but on the planet, as well.
PDS Environmental Policy
PDS seeks to be a leader in environmental stewardship for IT service organizations and for PDS clients. PDS manufactures its PCs, implements its solutions and conducts its logistics so as to minimize environmental damage. PDS applies the existing continuous improvement practices of its ISO 9001:2008 quality management system to activities that impact the environment. PDS complies with all applicable legal and other environmental requirements.
Server & Storage Optimization
Did you know 50% of data center energy consumption is spent on cooling? PDS provides a strategy for complete data center optimization; from consolidation and virtualization to the latest management tools and energy saving methodologies. PDS helps clients do all this by leveraging emerging technologies like Blades and I/O connectivity. As a result, clients are squeezing out every ounce of performance, reducing every unnecessary watt and saving precious administration time along the way.
Desktop Optimization
Desktops and monitors utilize just below 40% of all commercial power world wide! With new tools and technologies, power consumption and DT management all become more efficient. Desktops purchased even less then two years ago are now being replaced with even more efficient systems for power consumption, performance and footprint (carbon and physical).
In 2008, PDS was selected as one of the few VARs in the country authorized to implement the Verdiem SURVEYOR PC energy management software application. Now, in addition to our 20+ years of IT Lifecycle Management, PDS can help enterprise organizations reach corporate objectives, such as:
- Lowering PC energy costs
- Reducing the overall PC cost of ownership
- Reducing your organization's carbon footprint
- Providing a rapid ROI and payback
