Switchfast Blog: The Future of IT
Green technology isn’t going anywhere but up
Wednesday, June 10, 2009 by Michael Holley
As CNET reports, Deloitte Research and the
National Venture Capital Association have found that 63 percent of
surveyed venture capitalists expect growth in green technologies
over the next year. This statistic is according to their annual
Global Trends survey, which utilizes a sample of 725 venture
capitalists.
What does this mean for your business's IT? While you won't
likely be seeing solar-powered PCs taking over the office any
time soon, you will be seeing the accelerated widespread adoption
of virtualization, remote and mobile technologies, and
energy-efficient hardware. Fortunately, as more investment capital
is poured into innovation, developers will feel the pressure to
monetize the technology quickly, which means releasing products at
competitive prices that are designed not only to save energy, but
also to save money for the end user, relative to existing
technology.
So keep an eye out for opportunities to jump on the bandwagon.
If you don't do it for the environment, do it for your
checkbook!
Best,
