using Tablet as client

Thin client network for a small school

• analyse energy audit data on enterprise resource consumption

• plan and integrate sustainability into ICT projects by devising strategies to conserve resources

• develop and monitor policies for review and improvements, benchmarking against industry best practice and attempting new approaches continuously over time.

Integrate sustainability in ICT planning and design projects

• How to produce an energy audit• Choosing energy efficient hardware• Using power management software• Selecting energy efficient architecture –

with longer life cycle, better utility• Using renewable energy• Reducing e-waste• Pilot projects

ICT sustainability from a business standpoint

• Choosing energy efficient hardware• Using power management software• Selecting energy efficient architecture –

with longer life cycle, better utility• Using renewable energy• Reducing e-waste

Energy efficiency as a stepping stone to sustainability

• Thin client network for a small school using Tablet as client

• 1 server with ubuntu server OS• 1 printer for share printing service• 1 wireless router to connect Internet and

clients• 20 YW KPAD for clients• 1 POwerUSB for control the power supply

Individual Project Strategy

• Open firewall service on wireless router• Publish the energy management software

website on router• Publish the Ubuntu server terminal on

router• Create the admin right account for

administrator• Install anti-virus software on server and

tablet

Network operation and security

Sketch of the recommended project system

• 1 highly energy efficient servers using a variety of hardware platforms running Edubuntu with Thin Clients

• 20 YW KPAD for clients• 1 printer for share printing service• 1 PowerUSB power supply control the

power• Testing and evaluation of wireless router

and Ethernet cables• Feasibility studies into appropriate

technology• Engagement with industry partners

Achievements

• Use the PowerUSB control the server, printer and router.

• We can shutdown the server and power off the router and printer scheme after 3.30pm every weekday

• We can startup the server and power on the printer and router before 8.30am every weekday.

Short term technology solutions to achieve reduction of power consumption

• deep-cycle AGM batteries• solar generation• wind generation

Energy usage within the ICT project

• From a global perspective the market for sustainable computer classrooms is enormous; from this perspective opportunities exist to create new futures and partnerships from the principles embodied in the prototype.
