Green Surfing on the World Wide Web

Google is probably the most popular search engine in the world.
Since 2004, the verb “to google” has even been in the German Duden dictionary. This is of course because Google is the big player in the search engine business.

backup-changeover 2022 is what is described as a Major Change in change management. In context Datensicherung.nrw, we are moving to Commvault’s backup software solution at RWTH and many universities in NRW.

Attention!
As part of the backup transition 2022, a new platform for data backup and recovery has been built at RWTH Aachen University in the last months.

In this context, we are gradually saying goodbye to the previous backup solution, the “TSM backup”.

However, e-mails also cause greenhouse gas emissions in a completely different way – probably more than you think.
In today’s article, we explain why e-mails are also harmful to the environment to a certain extent. With our tips, we are sure you will be able to adopt a more ecological approach to digital communication and make a joint contribution to climate protection.

After two years of not being able to celebrate the so-called fifth season as tradition dictates, there is reason to breathe a sigh of relief on November 11 this year: the start of the carnival season is largely back to “normal”. As every year, it will be initiated at 11:11am – that is, at this very moment. But why on this date and why at this time? Let’s take a closer look at this together.
