SERVERS

20.
The server is to serve -
technically means that the
specific computer is serving all
those computers that are
present in its network. It
facilitates them by making
queue of the printing command
of several computers at a time
and also acts like a file server for
those applications that are
accessed by the online terminals.

● Energy efficiency and consumption are
a key design element to laptop
computers that make the devices much
less power hungry than desktop PC
counterparts.
● Desktop computers are permanently
gethered to a massive power supply,
making energy efficiency. a bonus or a
perk as opposed to a functional
necessity.
● Even performance laptop computers
may lack the power found on desktop
PCs, but the laptops will leave you with
a much lower power bill at the end of
the month.

introduction of watt
● "ultra-low-power wireless chipsets”.
Until recently, the only way to achieve
data transfer hardware between a
sensor and a client has been to use
wires, or manually collect data from a
using logging device.
● Wireless technologies have been
available for decades. However, they
Graphic tend to use significant
amounts of power and need specialized
equipment to establish a solid

Five main network topologies exist when discussing
personal low-power radio
• Broadcast: A message is sent from a device in the hope
that it is received by a receiver within range. The
broadcaster doesn't receive signals.
● Mesh: A message can be relayed from one point in a
network to any other by hopping through multiple
nodes.
• Star: A central device can communicate with a
number of connected devices -
Bluetooth is a common example.
• Scanning: A scanning device is constantly in receive
mode, waiting to pick up a signal from anything
transmitting within range.
• Point-to-Point: In this mode, a one-to-one connection
exits, where only two devices are connected, similar to
a basic phone call.

Beyond the "good housekeeping" user initiatives, there
are a number of more fundamental steps that can be
taken to significantly decrease the environmental
impact of computing.
● These mainly involve measures for reducing energy
consumption, and may be grouped under the following
six headings:
● Lower power hardware
● Virtualization
● Cloud computing
● Energy efficient coding
● Improved repair, re-use, recycling and disposal.
Network topologis

When, in 2005, Intel announced the new
computing mantra to be "performance per
watt" (rather than processor speed) green
computing in general and lower power
hardware in particular started to go
mainstream. PCs can be made to use less
electricity by using a lower power processor,
opting for onboard graphics (rather than a
separate graphics card), using passive cooling
(rather than energy consuming fans), and
either a solid state drive (SSD) in place of a
spinning hard drive as the system disk, or else
a 1.8" or 2.5" rather a than 3.5" conventional
hard drive

Virtualization is the use of computer software
to simulate hardware. Within data centres,
server consolidation applies virtualization in its
replacement of many stand-alone physical
servers. with virtual servers that run as
software on a small number of larger
computers. To their users, virtual servers can be
configured to still appear as physical machines
on their network. However, via a virtualized
server consolidation a company can obtain a far
more optimal use of computing resources by
removing the idle server capacity that is usually
spread across a sprawl of physical servers. IBM,
for example, is currently engaged in its Project
Big Green.
This involves the replacment of about 2,900
individual servers with about 30 mainframes
virtualization

32.
Cloud computing is the on-demand
availability of computer system resources,
especially data storage (cloud storage) and
computing power, without direct active
management by the user.Large clouds often
have functions distributed over multiple
locations, each of which is a data center.
Cloud computing relies on sharing of
resources to achieve coherence and
typically uses a "pay as you go" model,
which can help in reducing capital expenses
but may also lead to unexpected operating
expenses for users
CLOUD COMPUTING

33.
Green coding is a term used in the
software industry to describe
programming practices that minimize
energy consumption. We can find
specific techniques, tools and
programming languages that help
reduce energy consumption
Green coding is the practice of using
energy-efficient tools and practices in
programming. In a world constrained
by its limited resources, eco-designed
coding would provide companies with
significantly higher IT performance.

DATA DE-
DUPLICATION

35.
Data deduplication is a process that eliminates excessive copies of
data and significantly decreases storage capacity
requirements.Deduplication can be run as an inline process as the
data is being written into the storage system and/or as a background
process to eliminate duplicates after the data is written to disk.At
NetApp, deduplication is a zero data-loss technology that is run both
as an inline process and as a background process to maximize
savings. Deduplication is turned on by default, and the system
automatically runs it on all volumes and aggregates without any
manual intervention.
DATA DE-DUPLICATION

36.
VIRTUALIZATON

37.
In computing, virtualization or virtualisation is the act of
creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something at
the same abstraction level, including virtual computer hardware
platforms, storage devices, and computer network resources.
Virtualization began in the 1960s, as a method of logically
dividing the system resources provided by mainframe
computers between different applications. An early and
successful example is IBM CP/CMS. The control program CP
provided each user with a simulated stand-alone System/360
computer. Since then, the meaning of the term has broadened.

flash drive, the power consumption can be
reduced with no moving parts. The increase in
online storage has increase power consumption.
The largest hard drive is 26 TB (while SSDs can
be much bigger at 100 TB, mainstream
consumer SSDs cap at 8 TB). Smaller, 2.5-inch
drives, are available at up to 2TB for laptops,

❏ Saving energy can be accomplished through proper maintenance and
rehabilitation of existing facilities, including periodic replacement and
upgrading of inefficient hardware and equipment, which can result in both
energy savings and utility company paybacks.
❏ With companies investing in cleaner energies, and with more opportunities
available to farmers-such as biomass and ethanol.
❏ The utilities sector includes companies such as electric, gas, or water utilities,

LOWPOWER COMPUTERS

Building your own highly efficient desktop computer doesn't take a lot of work or
money it just requires specialized parts, proper BIOS configuration and a high- efficiency
power supply. You don't need a laptop to get an energy-efficient computer.
Throwing together a PC nowadays doesn't take a lot of effort. But if you want to build an
eco-friendly desktop, it may take a little bit more knowledge. There are effectively three
kinds of component and configuration options when it comes to a power-efficient build:
⚫Choosing a high-efficiency power supply:
⚫ Choosing components with low power-consumption;
⚫Configuring your BIOS/UEFI to use less power.
LOW POWER COMPUTERS AND PCs

POWER SUPPLY

48.
POWER SUPPLY
Power supplies don't convert from wall AC
current to DC without a great deal of Loss
in power. The average power supply
converts at 70% efficiency, meaning 30%
wasted energy. However, two kinds of
power supplies convert at over 90%
effciency: PicoPSUs and 80+ Platinum rated
power supplies. When choosing a build,
either option presents a good choice. On
the downside, many Platinum rated
supplies cost a fortune and PicoPSUs are
best mounted in special cases.

49.
LOW-POWER
COMPONENTS

50.
LOW-POWER COMPONENTS
The most power-efficient motherboards
cost quite a bit and come with CPUs that
have been soldered to the board, meaning
if either the board or the CPU goes bad, the
entire unit must be discarded. Personally, I
prefer using lower-power CPUs combined
with small form factor mini-ITX
motherboards. Another component that
makes a big difference in power
consumption is adding a Solid State Drive.
SSDs add amazing performance while
consuming a tiny fraction of the wattage of
a regular platter hard disk drive.

51.
BIOS/UEFI( UNITED
EXTENSIBLE FIRMWARE
INTERFACE) SETTINGS

52.
BIOS/UEFI SETTINGS
There are a number of settings located in
the BIOS (and its next-generation
replacement, UEFI) that aren't enabled
by default that can have an noticeable
impact on power consumption. Simply
enabling the various power states on
Intel boards (C1E and EIST) can reduce
power consumption. You will want to
enable them if they're available on your
motherboard. Some BIOS/UEFIS use
colloquial language to enable lower
power states, such as "eco-mode" or "low
power mode". Enable these, if available.

INTEL i7
Intel manufactures the best performing
CPUs, despite some serious thermal
design flaws. In terms of performance-
per-watt, Intel provides industry-leading
power efficiency. In particular, Intel's T
and S series CPUs use between 35 and
65 watts. On a higher end build, I would
prefer getting a Core 17-4765 or a BGA
board, but these are so hard to get, the
best option is an S-series CPU.
