Designing out waste in IT systems – Astrid Wynne

Worldwide server shipments reached approximately 12.1 million units last year; PC sales totalled 255.5 million units. This results in almost 12.2 tonnes of CO2e emissions at a conservative estimate. With hardware shipments on the rise, this is set to be an even larger problem in the future. But does it have to be this way? This presentation explores ways research teams are figuring out how to do more with less, using data to drive decisions on extending product life through reconfiguration, reallocation and real time repairs.
