8 Distributed IT Must Also Be Addressed DataCenter / IT Electricity Use Estimate Client Example of Distributed IT Electricity Use Server closet 12% Server room 16% Printer 6.4% Dept. Server 11.0% Screen 11.0% Photocopier 1.0% Data center 72% Network 14.2% Laptop 3.1% Fax 0.3% Desktop 42.0% Source: Report to Congress on Server and Data Center Energy Efficiency Public Law , U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (2007) Source: IBM Distributed IT Carbon Management Diagnostic report to HMRC, IBM Corporation 21-May-09 8

9 Trends in the midmarket total cost is the major driver Increased energy use Server rooms have doubled their energy use in the past five years. Koomey, February 2007 Rising costs US commercial electrical costs increased by 10% from EPA Monthly Forecast, 2007 Environmental responsibility 41% of mid-sized enterprises with employees report implementing green considerations in sourcing products and RFPs. Info-Tech, March IBM Corporation 21-May-09 9

10 IT energy costs in the midmarket [Server room] power and cooling costs will increase to more than one-third of the total IT budget which will elevate this cost element into a priority position for CFOs, facilities managers, and IT executives. Robert Frances Group Small and midsize companies see energy costs as one of their top two budget line-item increases. IBM Study 2008 IBM Corporation 21-May-09 10

11 Why should you green your IT infrastructure? Reducing your footprint reduces your overall IT costs (less maintenance, management, energy and cooling). Recapture resiliency. Recycle end-of-life equipment. Green IT delivers profound results: Up to 40% reduction in power and cooling or more Up to 80% reduction in floor space Up to 4x utilization rate increase Avoid new construction Can you afford to wait? 2008 IBM Corporation 21-May-09 11

12 Questions to ask yourself Do you have a plan to address your increasing energy costs or usage? How do you assess energy usage and measure the efficiency of your server room? Do you envision server sprawl to accommodate new applications? Is your server room power and cooling infrastructure more than 5 years old? Can you describe your energy management plan? Can you keep systems critical to your business up and running during a power drain or surge? How do you dispose of your old IT assets? 2008 IBM Corporation 21-May-09 12

13 Bryant University USA: IBM Green IT success story Rapid deployment of a data center at 20% less cost than a traditional data center raised floor Client requirements Decentralized IT infrastructure was costly, inefficient and increasingly unable to scale to growing demands for IT services Needed to consolidate to an enterprise-class data center Solution Implemented an IBM Scalable Modular Data Center solution with advanced InfraStruXure architecture from IBM Alliance Partner APC Standardized on IBM BladeCenter for virtualized Microsoft Windows and Linux Saves on power and cooling costs; can provision new virtual servers in < 1 day Benefits Reduced physical servers from 75 to to 50 percent reduction in floor space requirements Contributed to reduced carbon footprint and reduced power consumption/cooling The bulk of the installation was completed within just 4 days.
