Optimal utilization of ICT capacity
You can also save energy by making the most of your ICT capacity. In practice, often more ICT capacity (such as servers, network, and hard disks) is purchased than is necessary which causes overcapacity. All capacity of ICT equipment consumes electricity, including overcapacity. Therefore wait to expand when the current capacity is still sufficient. Alternatively, existing ICT equipment can be partly burdened heavier or it can be switched off, so that the equipment is used more efficiently.
