IT devices such as switches, servers and laptops consume a lot of energy, which can be significantly reduced through efficient use and settings. In a globally networked world, an efficient IT infrastructure is essential to optimally manage resources and save energy. Find out how you can expand your infrastructure even further in our blog post “Build an IT infrastructure and benefit from improved processes”.

In this blog post, you will receive valuable tips on implementation and learn how these measures can have a positive impact on the environment and your company.

Choosing the right IT devices

The selection of a suitable IT device begins with a precise analysis of individual requirements. Future-oriented planning is crucial: devices with expandable memory and a long service life offer flexibility for future requirements. Technical specifications such as CPU, RAM and the choice between HDD and SSD are crucial.

Energy-efficient IT devices:

For many devices, there is no standardized labeling requirement for energy consumption, but there are…

…voluntary labels such as the Blue Angel, which take operating power consumption and ecological footprint into account.
…the EU Ecolabel and the TCO label, which are characterized by environmentally friendly production processes.

We help you choose the right devices, including:

Expansion and upgrade

Hardware and software upgrades can increase the efficiency and service life of IT equipment. Checking compatibility is very important.

Hardware upgrades

Software upgrades

Care and maintenance

Optimization of servers and UPS:

Standby vs. idle mode:
In standby mode, the device remains operational but continues to consume energy. In sleep mode, the device's energy consumption is greatly reduced by writing all running programs to the hard disk.

Sustainability and recycling

Important measures are:

Companies that promote sustainability improve their reputation and demonstrate social responsibility. This promotes an increased awareness of the responsible use of resources among both employees and customers.
