Linux Shell Tips, February 9th, 2023
A heavy reliance on the network can increase energy use across businesses. Here are some best practices network teams can follow to reduce power consumption.
In corporate and branch offices, organizations expect wired and wireless connectivity in all locations. The network is the foundation that controls virtually every technological aspect of business, and ubiquitous connectivity is essential. As the need for network connectivity grows, however, so does overall power consumption.
Organizations typically install additional wired and wireless network devices to handle this greater need, which can create situations where network hardware is online but sits idle and needlessly consumes power. This practice has become concerning for organizations that seek to cut costs and lower their power consumption and carbon footprint.
