3COM Switches
New, cost-effective switches for wired and wireless networking use the latest 90nm silicon technology to lower carbon emissions and reduce “power draw.” They provide significant savings on electricity costs without compromising network performance.
Green Benefits Include:
- Server consolidation (10-to-1 consolidation is conservative number)
- Reduced need for additional materials needed for more servers as well as reduced waste at the end of server life
- Reduced power consumption for additional servers
- Reduced power consumption for environmental (cooling) equipment
Collaborative Conferencing Tools
Decreasing the amount of business travel and working from home are two viable options for organizations looking to lessen their CO2 output. In addition to increasing productivity and cutting travel costs, POLYCOM tools — using voice, video and internet technology — can help an organization become more sensitive to the environment and the negative impact of travel. One-touch video conferencing is definitely more economical (and less stressful) than waiting for a cancelled flight.
Server Virtualization
Xen from Citrix Systems frees up individual users from energy-consuming desktops, saving 100s of watts per desktop. Optimized server and storage infrastructure also lowers Data Center power consumption.
Control and Automation Technology
Energy-efficient CRESTRON automation solutions now meet LEED standards, providing companies with additional credits toward Green Certification. Several CRESTRON products, including lighting systems, thermostats, shade controls and control systems are designed to operate efficiently, consolidating several products and drawing less power while on — and much less when they shut off automatically.
Wiring and Cabling
Cable manufacturers are large consumer of valuable resources, especially copper and aluminum, which are nonrenewable. Across the board, cabling suppliers are now looking for ways to eliminate waste and reduce energy consumption during production and delivery. As well as remove toxic substances from products and processes.
Whenever possible, MOSS tries to work with suppliers who have demonstrated a commitment to environmental stewardship. We also recycle all of our unused wiring and cable, reels and boxes – are willing to remove and recycle all of yours.
