Today’s PCs are far more powerful than the earliest computers. They also use less electricity. The first general-purpose computer, ENIAC drew roughly 150,000 watts of electricity. By comparison, today’s PCs consume about 110 watts. That seems small. But there was only one ENIAC —and there are 850 million PCs in use today.

PC s consume an immense amount of electricityand could have long lasting impacts on the environment. Unfortunately, the impact is largely unaddressed and often unrecognized. In addition to massive power use, millions of PCs are disposed of in landfills and garbage dumps around the world contaminating the soil with toxic e-waste substances like mercury and cadmium.

It is essential that big organisations and institutions look for solutions to limit the power usage of computers and look for alternatives that are less hazardous to our environment. Green computing could provide institutions with the solution.

NComputing systems are a major leap forward in green computing. More than 15,000 organizations in over 80 countries have used NComputing to slash their carbon footprint and electric consumption.

The NComputing solution is based on a simple fact: today’s PCs are so powerful that the vast majority of applications only use a small fraction of the computer’s capacity. NComputing’s virtualization software and hardware tap this unused capacity so that it can be simultaneously shared by multiple users.
