Workshop Sustainable IT (english)
The goal of the workshop is to introduce the participants to the topic of sustainability in IT so that they can identify and address the main sustainability factors in IT (hardware, software and services) and to develop initial solutions.
Another focus is energy efficiency in IT. The IT staff will receive an overview of the essential factors of energy-efficient IT in order to then identify, prioritize and execute suitable measures for reducing the energy requirement and thus also the cost and CO2 load. The focus is on the combination of hardware, software, infrastructure, and operation, because an optimized interaction of these components can achieve an increased energy, cost, and environmental balance.
