Overview

The goal of the GreenStar Network Project is to initiate a Canadian consortium of industry, universities and government agencies with the common goal of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions arising from information & communication technology (ICT) services. 

The expected result is the creation of tools, protocols, procedures, use cases for a growing network of ICT service providers that offers customers the lowest price and greenest services.

The project is innovative because it focuses on the relationship between networks and green datacenters in order to provide Green ICT services.  Canada and Canadians will benefit by a continued growth of ICT with significantly reduced carbon footprint and an international leadership role in Green ICT.

Working on content

Our apologies for this incomplete site, as the project official launch will be in January 2010, we are heavily working on the content of this site, expect to find information, tools and guides to build, operate and validate the GHG savings of Zero Carbon Networks over the upcoming years. Moreover, we will be listing the different nodes and members of GSN as they come up online.

Proposal Submitted to CANARIE

The Consortium submitted a proposal to CANARIE in order to officially bootstrap the Canadian initiative. We offer big thanks to all the participants who contributed in producing this excellent looking proposal.
