Sustainable computing is no longer optional. Businesses large and small are under pressure to reduce their environmental footprint without sacrificing performance. This introduction lays out why green IT matters and how it can save both money and the planet.

Cutting carbon emissions doesn’t mean sacrificing computing power. By combining efficient hardware, clever cooling, and smart software practices, modern data centers can slash energy use while still meeting performance requirements.
