During a recent report by Forrester Research, IT companies were embracing “greener” policies in house, as long as it didn’t interfere with the core initiatives of the business. Some highlights from the findings include:

Data Centers: “The most widely adopted green IT initiatives within the data center, according to the report, involve virtualization and consolidation; 68 percent of the respondents said they’ve already embraced those technologies, while another 22 percent said they plan to do it by 2011.”

PC Power Management and Printer Consolidation: “Outside the data center, printer consolidation and PC power management are corporations’ top green IT projects; 66 percent of companies have already implemented printer consolidation, and 19 percent plan this for either 2010 or 2011. Further, 41 percent of respondents said they’re using PC power management, while another 21 percent plan to deploy it over the next couple of years.”

DC Power Supply Systems: “On the other end of the spectrum, techniques such as embracing modularity or adopting a DC power supply system rank low on organizations’ agendas: 13 percent of the surveyed companies said they’ve gone modular and another 11 percent are planning to. Meanwhile, 12 percent of respondents have a DC system in place, and another 5 percent are planning on doing the same.”
