A system can be managed by less power consumption and avoiding any environmental damage - such system management is said environmentally friendly Environment pollution is quite a vital issue in present days and natural energy recourses are shrinking as well. So, human race have no other option but to search for environment or eco -friendly system. To make a system environment friendly, it should meet some specific criteria. For a manage server, these could be apply as well. A server that fulfills such criteria is known as environment friendly managed server host service or green server management. The criteria required to fulfill in order for a green server hosting is the discussable of this article.

Managing power system is the initial and major consideration of a managed dedicated server. Considerable amount of power is required to run a server system. It's hard to believe but the statistic shows that standard managed hosting UK and managed servers consumes about 100 kWh energy on average and leave 630 kg of CO2 annually. So there is no alternative but to reduce carbon emission by using cleaner energy for server hosting. Using renewable powers like; wind power, solar power or biomass facilities are the way to ensure such clean energy for managed server.

Reducing Energy consumption of a server system helps the environment a lot as well. It may hard to believe but the truth is; half of the total power consumed by a server system is used for controlling the climate around the server. As servers never shut down, reducing heat is a great issue for the safety of server (device). For cooling purpose of the data centre air coolers and liquid cooling system is required. However if we choose better and environment friendly (as these architecture uses natural flow of air for cooling purpose) architecture for the managed hosting server; we may use the natural cooling which could reduce the number of required cooling device. By choosing a more environment friendly architecture (the architecture which uses natural air flow for cooling purpose) for the managed hosting server; it is possible to reduce the use of cooling device just by utilizing natural cooling system. A great amount of power for managed hosting could be saved by following this method. Minimizing power consumption also helps to reduce environment pollution. As an initiative to ensure this; electronic companies try to design ICs that consume less power thus needs less arrangement for cooling.

A data centre or a managed server needs not a very sophisticated recycling system since it doesn't produce that much of waste compared to an industry a managed ser. However a recycling unit is required for waste management to create a green managed server. Controlling excess consumption is also another way for a green managed hosting. By raising the consciousness of people engaged in managing or hosting server, excess consumption can be easily avoided.

Always try to maintain - consume no more that u are actually needed. A simple step like; turning off the device like; printer, light etc after using may help you to reach your goal. You can minimize daily waste by avoid using excess papers. These are not all but there are several other ways beside conventional ways to manage or host a green managed server system and one should try to customize their own server system in their own way and tunt it into a more eco-friendly one.
