This whitepaper will explore best practices for green IT and how Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) can help companies achieve green IT processes for software application management. ALM solutions from IBM Rational software can specifically help IT organizations reduce energy consumption and costs associated with multi-site software development by:

• Reducing energy and resources required to test and run business applications
  
• Developing analytical models with current and future states of resource consumption leading to greener and more cost-effective strategies
  
• Analyzing application source code to identify and eliminate unused code to reduce application storage requirements
  
• Optimizing the performance of applications to reduce server energy costs by reducing server footprint and server processing time
  
• Managing environmentally focused product requirements throughout the lifecycle
  
• Supporting the design and build of products and services with low environmental impact
  

We'll also illustrate the benefits of ALM solutions using examples of IBM customers who have successfully achieved green IT best practices. Download this whitepaper to learn more.
