Life Cycle Management
- 1. Modular IT Systems: Designing systems with modularity allows for easier repairs and upgrades, reducing the need for new hardware.
- 2. Recycling and Refurbishing: A focus on recycling and refurbishing IT assets at the end of their life cycle helps decrease e-waste and the demand for new resources.
- 3. Reducing Resource Extraction: Promoting software-defined solutions over hardware-heavy setups can help extend the life of IT infrastructure.
Sustainable Data Management
- 1. Optimising Data Storage: Efficient data storage management minimises unnecessary replication and optimises systems for energy efficiency.
- 2. Data Compression and Deduplication: Reducing the amount of data stored and transmitted through techniques like compression and deduplication lowers energy consumption.
- 3. Data Lifecycle Management: Implementing policies to determine when data should be archived or deleted helps reduce unnecessary storage, cutting energy usage.
