    Virtualization: A Sustainable Resource Management Strategy in Computing Practices
    (IOSR Journal of Computer Engineering, 2015-04) Afolabi, Olaitan O.; Ogundoyin, Ibrahim K.
    Many computing practitioners are challenged with resource inefficiencies and insufficiencies emanating from poor management strategy. In order to reduce complexity and risk while improving productivity, practitioners need to virtualize their resources. Virtualization of devices allows fast installation of applications and reduces cost of procuring equipments and time spent on placing orders, delivery and set-up. The socio-political ramifications of global warming requiring good corporate citizens to meet greenhouse gas reduction targets, creates an added incentive for virtualization. This paper unleashes the many potentials of virtualization technology and explores how it promises to address much of the problems confronting computing practices. The results of the analysis of survey obtained from the industry-leading virtualization software company (VMware) ascertained virtualization as a solution for sufficiency and efficiency in computing practices as the main objectives of this paper.

    WWW: WHAT E-WASTES WORTH
    (Academic Journal of Science,, 2018) Afolabi, Olaitan O.; Afolabi, Olaitan O.
    Strategies adopted by many world leaders to tackle economic problems have failed; most especially in developing nations. This is sequel to the fact that the supposed schemes are capital intensive. Attentions are rather given to conventional economic approach for solving problems rather than looking into newer methods trending in modern technology. One of such methods is sustainable e-waste (electronic waste) management system. As new e-products are purchased, obsolete products are stored or discarded at alarming rates. If at all, a negligible percentage of this material is recycled while the vast majority is disposed of in landfills. These products could, however, be recycled for returns that worth appreciable values by recovering components. The existing system for managing e-waste is generally not sustainable because mechanisms for collecting, sorting, reuse, refurbishing, repairing, and remanufacturing are not well developed and/or implemented. Problems associated with market issues, obsolescence issues, feedstock collection, feedstock management, and product-design need to be addressed. This paper research and report values recoverable over certain volumes and quantities of obsolete electronic products when recycled. Solutions to factors mitigating sustainable e-waste management are also discussed. Recommendations for the adoption of recycling as a scheme for economic revenues are equally made based on the outcome of the research report.
