NEW YORK, June 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Internet Evolution
(http://www.internetevolution.com), TechWeb's groundbreaking Web 2.0 site
dedicated to investigating the future of the Internet, today launched a new
interactive Green IT Tutorial. Green (environmentally sustainable) technology
is one of the most critical and complex issues now facing IT professionals and
CIOs.

    Internet Evolution's Green IT Tutorial is presented using a custom
designed multimedia tutorial player, which seamlessly integrates video and
audio with loads of other supporting information - such as educational white
papers, informational graphics, and detailed PowerPoint presentations.
    The videos themselves are divided in a Q&A format that allows IT
professionals to drill down into only the issues that interest them. Each
video tutorial segment provides the kind of comprehensive education that IT
professionals and enterprises need in order to formulate a plan that both
reduces the carbon footprint of their data centers and IT infrastructures,
while saving them huge sums of money.
    Some of the questions answered in the comprehensive tutorial include: What
is Green IT? What are the IT challenges and benefits that drive demand for
Green IT? What role can virtualization play in reducing the carbon footprint
of data centers? What impact does green IT have on data center design?
    Green IT tutor, Rick Thompson, co-founder of Greentech Media, details the
scope of these problems with hard facts and numbers and also offers solutions
and guidelines on implementing green technology best practices. "Green IT is
much more than efficient servers, and represents an enormous market
opportunity once it's fully understood," says Thompson. "Combining aspects of
data center design, best practices, new technologies, and, ultimately,
renewable sources of energy, Green IT will emerge as the next critical step in
the evolution of enterprise computing."
    More Tutorials to Come ...
    The Green IT Tutorial is the first in a series of tutorials planned by
Internet Evolution focusing on critical Internet issues impacting IT
departments and the folks who work in them. The next tutorial, scheduled for
July, focuses on Botnets.
