London Olympics IT Touted to be the Most Eco-friendly Yet

The IT systems of the London Olympics in 2012 is planned to be the greenest ever says the games' integrator, Atos Origin. The company is an international IT corporation which operates in 40 countries and the official worldwide information technology partner of the next Olympic Games.  It plans to reduce IT power consumption for the London Games and hopes to spend 200,000 hours on systems testing before the games just like how it did in Beijing.  It also aims to reduce the computer hardware and cooling required making its IT systems the most environmentally friendly in all Olympic games.


Jeremy Hore, Atos Origin's chief integrator for the Beijing Games said, "We have made a good start, but there is still more that can be done for the London Games by working from the start to optimise hardware use even further and make it as lean as possible,"



The London Olympics will  celebrated in from 27 July to 12 August 2012.  London will become the first city to officially host the modern Olympic Games three times having previously done so in 1908 and in 1948.
