low-carbon IT
Low-carbon IT is the corporate buzzword that quietly plunges data centers into energy-saving darkness and miraculously erases carbon footprints in presentation slides. Under the noble guise of reducing environmental impact, it often amounts to throttling cooling fans and switching off office lights as mere cost-cutting. Meeting decks dance with lofty slogans and charts while on the ground, boasts of "our carbon-neutral cloud" reverberate. It basks in the spotlight only upon hitting targets, then is swiftly replaced by the next fashionable slogan—the quintessential trend of the corporate world.
