D-Link
Are your Networks Green?
Public awareness and legislative action worldwide have created demands
for improvements in energy efficiency for networking equipment. D-Link
is working to take the lead in developing innovative, power-saving
technology that doesn't sacrifice operational performance or
functionality.
Innovative eco-friendly concept
Reduced power consumption, less heat
dissipation
Extended product life
Reduced operating costs
Green
Ethernet Features D-Link's Green Ethernet implements special power-saving features that detect link status and cable length and adjust power
usage accordingly.
If there is no cable link or link
partners turn
off, Green Ethernet will put that port in a "sleep mode," reducing
power used for that port and saving energy.
Green Ethernet detects Ethernet cable
length
and adjusts power usage to save energy. This way, a port connected to a
20 meter cable only uses as much power as it needs, instead of using
full power, which is only needed for 100 meter cables.
Green
Ethernet Benefits
If PCs connected to the switch are turned
off, D-Link's Green Ethernet can save up to 85.65%* power used for each
system.
If cable length is less than 20 meters,
D-Link's Green Ethernet can save up to 9.3%* power used for each system.
In a standard workday scenario where PCs are used for 10 hours a day
and powered off 14 hours a day, and connected to the switch using 20
meter cables, D-Link's Green Ethernet can save up to 44%*.

HP
The future of green is gold with HP.
HP’s vision is to keep its commitment to the environment by developing programs that reduce our environmental footprint, and those
of customers and partners.
HP focuses on four priorities that reflect stakeholder interests and
HP’s unique capabilities:
Increasing the energy efficiency of HP
products and operations
Adhering and exceeding EPEAT™
requirements
Leading the industry in recycling and
reuse options for end-of-life products
Raising standards in HP's global supply
chain
HP’s strong commitment to preserving the enviornment makes it
easier for federal customers to reduce their agencies’
enviromental impact. In doing as such, as of date 17 of HP’s
products, including desktops, workstations and laptops, are
EPEAT™ registered at the Gold level. HP was the first
technology
provider to offer PCs earning the ENERGY STAR® 4.0 as well as
the
first to offer a PC that is an EPEAT™ Gold registered
product.
Energy Efficiency has been a key element in HP’s Design for
Environmental program since its inception in 1992. As one of the
largest IT companies, HP is increasing the energy efficiency of our
products as well as our operations. Recently, the HP dc7800 w/SSD took
top honors at FOSE, the government’s largest annual gathering
of
IT professionals. Visit the HP dc7800 Wins Best of FOSE Award web page
