I was recently very intrigued by an article I read in eWeek on the top
10 Disruptive Technologies affecting the Datacenter. According to eWeek
they are;
1) Unified Communications
2) Web Platform
3) IT Operations Process Automation
4) Server Fabrics
5) Metadata Management
6) CMDB'S
7) Mashups and Composite Applications
8) Virtualisation beyond Consolidation
9) Social Software
10) Green IT
Wikipedia says "A disruptive technology or disruptive
innovation is a
technological innovation, product, or service that uses a "disruptive"
strategy, rather than a "sustaining" strategy, to overturn the existing
dominant technologies or status quo products in a market" Well I
for one as someone who is currently working on 4 of the items listed
above would like to think that what we are doing, in particular, around
Green IT and Virtualisation is based on a "sustaining strategy and
values; or did I miss the whole point of Eco...........
Some of the thinking around Green IT is focused on re-fresh cycle and technology in particular.
I know it may sound odd to the layman but processing capacity per kilowatt is rising at a massive rate (a key measure in this area), and to capitalise on the associated savings in terms of power (direct and indirect) and floor space it is expected that people will shorten their refresh cycles (now and in the near future). This is something we are already starting to see across the UK, and from my contacts, the US and other parts of the world too.
Even organisations like the Green Grid are starting to recognise this trend as well.
So where does that leave the IT Industry in terms of sustainability ? Frankly I think that it moves the focus towards carbon neutrality and ecological "cost to exit", but it can still be difficult to reconcile.
All the best,
Wayne
