I’m super intrigued by the questions people ask about technology and this one caught my eye. The one about Ethical Web applications, this really caught my attention.

My name is Michael I’m a data integrity and Security Expert with over 20 years of programming experience.

The question that was asked on Reddit that really got my attention is “how IT contributes to the company’s ‘values’, specifically on sustainability” There is a lot to unpack here First of all being green in IT space specially on web and application front can significantly reduce your IT infrastructure cost and improve your services speed and security.

But How, you might ask, let me explain. When we talking about websites and mobile applications naturally we don’t think about how big of an impact would this have on our environment, specially what can be done to reduce or cancel out carbon footprint of your groundbreaking idea.

Website and application being store and operate somewhere on the Server(Cloud/ dedicated), its’ a very power hungry equipment and requires a lot of colling in form of air conditioning insuring right operational conditions for stability. One of by-products for online services is heat which need to be dissipated into environment and then removed from the server room, so not only is using energy to operate but also to be cooled.
I think you already getting good idea that electricity is key contributor to high costs of running successful and stable online solution. Think in this way: your are not paying for Bandwidth, Storage, Database, backups or load balancers but for Electricity consumed by those services.

How to go green and save money in the process of reducing environmental impact ?

All comes to identifying inefficiencies in application and address system design flaws to reduce power consumption and save on server costs, this often can be between 62%-68% of total IT infrastructure costs reduction.
