Project Introduction &Background

Project proposal and study requested by VP ofTechnology

Red team proposed TREND: TechnologyRevitalization and Efficiency at NewwDeal.

TREND = Energy costs, Efficiency

Achieves savings through

Virtualization

Green IT

Achieves efficiency through

ITIL

Lean process improvement

Project Introduction &Background

Power Consumption Considerations:

Power consumed is approximately double eachservers load

UPS inefficiencies, whether at the PC or rack Internal power supply inefficiencies

Network equipment (firewalls, routers, switches)

Cooling

Source: US EPA report to Congress August2, 2007

Average server CPUusage only 5-15%

Will consume 60-90% of

its power at low usagelevels

Power consumedconverted directly toheat

Lifetime power & cooling cost more than themachine!

Our investigation showed:

Mixed brands, ages of computers

Inconsistent capabilities

Difficult to plan upgrades

Administrators supporting

Different operating systems Different software products, versions

Older systems

Slower

Recommendations

Increase NewwDeal efficiencywith:

Reducehardware size &

complexity Lower power costsand carbonfootprint Integrate IT

servicesmanagement

Virtualization + Green IT= Synergy!

Virtualization and Green IT = Major savings

Lower power consumption Less heat for a/c to remove

Less real estate for systems

Green initiatives = good Public Relations

Project pays for itself almost right away!
