HP has a long way to go to get THIS green

Filed in archive Enterprise Hardware by Scott Wilson on January 28, 2008

I mentioned HPs new "green" business desktop line-up last week, two PC models which cut power consumption by means of enhanced efficiency hardware, power monitoring software, and a solid-state hard drive unit. While impressive as far as enterprise-grade PC hardware goes, if you really want to go green, consider these: thin-client PCs that you can hang off the network jack.

I mentioned in the last article that the real debate was not so much between environmentally conscious PCs and traditional power-hungry models, but between the green PCs and thin-client technologies. This represents the Thin clientlinks side of the equation, and as far as power consumption goes, it wins hands-down at 3.5 Watts versus the 40 Watts the most efficient HP model achieves. The Jack PC consumes as much power, in operation, as the HP computers do in sleep mode.

Just to be clear, I am not hashing on HP here; they offer some very energy-efficient thin clients of their own as well as the more traditional PCs. The point, rather, is that if you are really serious about reducing your consumption and all you need is to get from point A to point B, then you should stop thinking in terms of buying a more fuel-efficient SUV and start thinking about getting a motorcycle instead.
