4. Praxis Corp. is an IT organization that frequently implements new hardware and software technologies to fulfill the latest requirements of its customers. For this, the management of the company often decides to upgrade the computer systems. As a result, some of the hardware components need to be replaced. These replaced hardware components must be properly managed and disposed of to ensure minimum risk of environmental damage. You have been assigned the task to device an appropriate solution for the preceding challenges. How will you accomplish the task?
Identifying Green ways of Disposing E-waste
Computer components can be difficult the dispose of. A number of computer components, such as CMOS battery.
cannot be easily disposed of. you need to task extreme precaution ans disose of computer components as per
the guidelines suggested by the manufacturer.
Computer components can be either disposed of or recycled. Depending on the type of computer component, you
need to task appropriate actions. For example, a monitor can be recyled by the computer manufacturer However, a CMOS
bettery cannot be recycled. therefore it needs to be properly disposed of.
Disposing computer Components
The life cycle of computer componenets is usually less then two years. thereafter. the parts become obsolete and are usually
discaeded. these obsolete computers, when dismantled. genrate E-waste in the form of hundreds of componenets.
Heavy metels, such as mercury and lead. and other toxic compounds in the e-waste to get into the environment and create health
problems, such as cancer. A proper way to dispose of E-waste is to drop it in specific E-Wastecollection centers set up by the
govemment agencies of equipment manufacturers. you can also donate them to some educational organizations where students can work
on these computer. the educations and Non-Govermmental Organizations (NGOs) do not require high-end equipment as compaered of those of
compared to those of companies. therefore, large companies donate old equipment to such organizations.
the united states Envinment protcation Agency (US EPA) encourages recycling and reusing of used electronic products by imposing less strigent
regulations for recycled and reused products. in contrast, the products disposed of in a hazardous manner face stingent regulations. in several
state that either the manufacturers provision for recovery programs are mandatory. in the US, the E-Waste laws state that either the manufacturers
provision for recycling programs or specifie items are not considered trash.
The European Umon and a few states in the Umted States, through legislation have made manutecturers of electronic equipment
responsible foe the recycling of these products. organizations must ensure that the their e-waste disposal process is in
accordance with the local laws and regulations to related to the disposal of e-waste some of the green disposal considerations for computer components are:
1. Laptop batteries deserve extra considerations while being disposed of as they contain toxic elements that are harmful to human health
some electronic stores offer battery recycling programs.
2. Printer components, such as cartridges toner and ribbons deserve extra caution during disosal as they may contain residual ink particles. the priter ink
particles may contain harmful chemicals and may be inflammable. Reusable cartridges and toners should be used to reduce wastage.
3. The disposal of CRL monitors is federally regulated because of the amount of lead they contain Disposing of more then a certain amount of CRL monitors
can become costly because of the documentating required. state environmental laws also come into factor into disposal decisions and costs.

5. Acme Corp. is an IT organization that is facing stiff competition from its competitors. To succeed in such a competitive environment, the organization needs to ensure that it spends a minimum amount of resources on: Infrastructure investment Electrical power Operating expenses In addition, the organization wants to implement an environment-friendly solution as a social gesture. The Administrator of the organization has been assigned the task to find an appropriate solution to meet the preceding requirements. How will the Administrator accomplish the task?
Understanding Virtualization
Virtualization is a technology that helps in adstracting computer resources in a virtual form. It creates an
environment similar to a host mechine. It helps in saving both, hardware and software resources, by utilizaing the
same resource usedby the host machine. in virtualization, when you abstract the hardware resource by using an
application, the hardware resources become available to another computer that the runs the virtual state.
Virtualization is achieved by using an application or technology, such as VMware Workstation. virtual BOX, or
Hyper-V.
The virtual form of a computer is known as a virtual machine. A virtual machine operates like a physical
machine, but dose not require its own separate physical hardware. Depending on the hardware resources, such as
microprocessor, memory, and haed disk space, you can run multiple virtual mechine within a single physical
computer. therefore, depending on the hardware capabilities of a physical machine or a host machine, you may
be able to run a single vitual machine or simultaneously run multiple vtual machine on a comuter.
To understand this concept better. consider an example. Assume that you have a computer that has 8 GB of
RAM 500 gb of haed disk space, and a network adapter card. you run a client operating system, such as
Windows 7, on this computer, Now, you need to experiment with Linux. In the absence of vtialization. you can
format the existing Windows insallation and insall Linux or dual-boot with Windows and Linux Dual-bool
can enable you to have two or more operating systems on a single computer, but you can run only one of these
operating systems at a time.
However, by using vitualazation siftware, such as vitual box, you can run Linux in a vitual machine within Windows.
Vitualazation helps in green computing because only one physical computer consumes electical energy. Vitual machine
utilize resources from the physical machine, and therfore, do not require a separate energy channel to
be powered on. Due to this, large enterprises have turned to vitualizaion and converted their phusical servers
into vitual machines. Virtualization privider the following key benefits:
1. Reduced space requirements: Virtualization allows organization to consolidate multiple physical machines
into a single physical machine. As a result, organization require less space for setting up comuters.
2. Optimal resource usege: Virtualization can lead to a better usage and distribution of computing resources
among users. in case of multiple physical machine, the computing resources of each physical machine may
not be used completely.
3. Energy conservation: Virtualization can lead to reduction in energy demands due to reduction in the amount
of physical hardware component. the vitual machine. which are simulated on a physical machine. do not
require any additional power. therefore multiple users can be supported by a single physical machine, with
lessr power requirements. In case of multiple physical machine, each machine would require a separate
power supply, and therefore, More power would be consumed pen user.
4. Consolidation of consolidation: Consolidation of servers is the process of adding multiple servers on a single host.
for example, you can add vitual machine that act as a printer server, a Wab server a file server, and an
email server on a single physical host. the consolidation of server also helps in consolidation multiple
Underutilized servers on to a single, High-end, physical host.
