bwCloud-OS goes green!

In the bwCloud 3 project, bwCloud-OS is being further developed not only technically, but also ecologically, economically, and increasingly also socially. Since the state service ‘bwCloud-OS’ is available to all higher education institutions in Baden-Württemberg, you – as a member of a university – also play a decisive role in fully exploiting the potential of this state service and achieving sustainability goals in the IT sector.

In order to ensure that bwCloud-OS is used as a sustainable alternative to local IT infrastructure, all parties involved must work together: users need to be aware of bwCloud-OS and Green IT, IT staff need to implement the technology, and management and administration need to embed it in the organization.

To make it easier to get started with green IT, you will find information documents on the following topics in the bwSync&Share folder Projekt bwCloud 3_Materialiensammlung (german only):

• Green IT in general – for anyone interested
• Green IT in bwCloud-OS – for employees involved in the bwCloud 3 project
• Creating awareness for Green IT – especially for university management and sustainability officers
• Sustainable behavior at your desk – for all IT users (staff, students)

Further documents on the topic ‘bwCloud-OS goes green’ will be published in this folder in future. In the upper levels of the folder, you will also find a wide range of information on Green IT in general.
