CIOs can expect their energy use to become much more visible to company boards and governments, especially as they build vast data centres to host cloud applications.
Andy Hopper, head of Cambridge University’s Computer Lab, is leading a multiyear exploration of computing for the future. One of the project’s main aims is to find practical solutions to the energy problems that face CIOs, indeed all consumers of digital bits.
Computer Weekly senior reporter Ian Grant went to Cambridge to speak to Hopper about the future of cheap clean green energy, increasing regulatory pressure to be clean and green, and what you can do now to save money in your server farm.
