Apart from piracy, Movie production houses lose millions of dollars due to lack of visibility in demand – they end up producing millions of CDs/title every
year without being sure about the market demand for those titles.
GreenCD, a product from Bangalore based GSec1 is designed to enable the entertainment industries production company to cater their supply chain management over an ordinary internet line with complete anonymity and privacy. The system is intended to change the supply to market demand from speculation to “on demand” philosophy.
As per founders, GreenCD can potentially create an internet based “production house” that would be available to distributors/retailers/individuals premises.
This concept will encompass four major areas :
- Speed – it will be the fastest channel to transfer music upon release;
- Huge Savings – in losses of time and materials in speculative over-rated albums;
- Access – will allow individuals to download legal copies of music immediately and most importantly
- Anti-Piracy=a solution to protect the downloading of music content and copyright.
Not only will this save cost on production: man-hours as it can be done in-house eliminating the “middle man”, materials as you need only order the material for the demand, but also on waste – reducing the amount of electronic waste thereby helping the environment.
Overall, GreenCD solution can reduce production costs, material costs, transportation and printing costs for the music/movie/software industries.

Measuring data center efficiency easier said than done
Containing the cost of powering the data center is one of the chief priorities for many IT and facilities professionals. But determining whether a data center is a paragon of green virtue or an unrepentant gas guzzler is trickier than it might seem at first glance.
That’s why the Green Grid, a nonprofit trade group led by IT vendors, devised Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE), which compares the total power used in a facility with the power devoted specifically to IT equipment. But as with almost any new standard, there is confusion within the industry about how to measure PUE and in what context it is useful.

PUE measures the number of watts needed power and cool IT gear, taking into account all power dedicated solely to the data center, an important distinction in mixed-use buildings that house both IT equipment and office space.
PowerNap for Data Centers Can Save Energy
Putting idle servers to sleep when they’re not in use is part of University of Michigan researchers’ plan to save up to 75 percent of the energy that power-hungry computer data centers consume…. Thomas Wenisch, … and students David Meisner and Brian Gold will present … on March 10 at the International Conference on Architectural Support for Programming Languages and Operating Systems in Washington, D.C.”Thomas Wenisc – Univ of Michigan h_Small.jpg
“PowerNap, the plan to put idle servers to sleep, and RAILS, a more efficient power supplying technique. (RAILS stands for Redundant Array for Inexpensive Load Sharing.)”
“Data centers waste most of the energy they draw. The facilities are inefficient because they must be ready for peak processing demands … typical industrial data center, the average utilization is 20 to 30 percent.”
How different is this solution from Raaga / Musicindiaonline ?
I think GreenCD is talking about solution for Production houses / distributors / Retailers.
Not something like “ragaa / musicindiaonline” online music store.
I hope i am talking sense here.
btw i came across something here http://www.cduniverse.com, have a look
