How to Green Windows Update?
The most important challenges facing the earth in the future are energy, water, environment and food security, Green IT
contributes in significant role in finding solutions because it consume energy more efficient and reduce pollution in water, air and soil in addition to improving economy because Green IT is manage energy sources by reducing energy consumption with
good performance. Most of energy consumed around the world depends on non-renewable energy and part of this energy consumed to update technologies
In this paper ,we will study one of the most important tools in Microsoft, which is used in order to help users to get updates of Microsoft\'s products, which is called windows server update services (WSUS), which is helping to reduce energy consumption, we will study this tool and then try to make it more
green by reducing the send / receive between Microsoft Update (MU) and WSUS, which will reduce energy consumption,
and we will propose algorithm and compared the energy consumption in the current design with energy consumption in the proposed design. This design will open the way for future work in order to
make sending updates in MU less energy consumption by apply conditional sending and that will help to improve the
performance of MU added to improve the network performance with more efficient consumption of energy.
Keywords: Green IT, Green computing, Microsoft update, WSUS, Green WSUS
