Who Are the Greenest Vendors?
This study is a very comprehensive evaluation of the efforts of vendors to offer green Wi-Fi equipment, data center equipment, and network switches. In addition to rating vendors for the degree to which they have added green features to their products and reduced power consumption, this report also rates the vendors’ own internal green initiatives. It assesses the degree to which they have conducted carbon footprint studies and developed quantifiable carbon footprint goals. It also examines vendors’ efforts to encourage telepresence and video conferencing to reduce employee travel and telecommuting, thus keeping cars off the road. The research also includes evaluations of the capacity-per-watt measurements of network switches and Wi-Fi controllers, and provides forecasts of the global annual power consumption of PCs, servers, Wi-Fi controllers, Wi-Fi access points and Ethernet switches.
