1 ENERGY EFFICIENT DATA CENTRES AND STORAGE Peter James University of Bradford

2 ABOUT US 1998 Co-founded world s first NGO on GreenIT EU Expert Advisors/Project Managers on ICT & Energy Efficiency; Environmental Technology Higher Education Environmental Performance Improvement (HEEPI) - SusteIT - guidance, networking, publications etc - conferencing, low carbon data centres, storage - footprinting, comparison tools - monthly newsletter

3 DRIVERS Direct - regulations - stakeholder pressures - performance - financial

4 AMAZON DATA CENTRES

5 Building Regulations Building Certificates DEC; EPC Inspection - Cooling Climate Change Act Renewable & Low Carbon Requirements Procurement - Quick Wins Emission Trading Scheme Carbon Reduction Commitment Key Holistic all impacts Campus Energy & Carbon only Current Future Inter-linked Equipment/ Systems Buildings Organisation BREEAM Higher Education Codes of Conduct - Data Centres HE Funding Requirements - HEFCE/UUK 80% Carbon HEFCW EMS Environmental Management Systems - EcoCampus U&C Climate Commitment for Scotland Universities That Count Green League Table Carbon Trust - HE CMP - Standard

6 DRIVERS Direct - regulations - stakeholder pressures - performance - financial Integrated improvement - energy/environment one of many - supporting the business case - e.g. thin client - e.g. virtualisation

7 THE DARK FOOTPRINT OF THE KNOWLEDGE ECONOMY Heavy Burdens

8 PRODUCTION BURDENS A typical semiconductor facility: million gallons DI water million pounds of chemicals million kwh of electricity PC/LCD production - 1,000+ hazardous substances High energy materials tonnes of rock - for 1 gram of gold

9 THE DARK FOOTPRINT OF THE KNOWLEDGE ECONOMY Heavy Burdens and. Steam Computers

10 SUSTEIT HE FINDINGS Sheffield - 1 million + electricity bill - 47% desktop related HE sector wide - 760,000 PCs - 215,000 servers - 147,000 networked printers - 60 million + energy bill - 35/40% data centres/hpc

11 2010 AGENDAS Desktop energy efficiency - lower power - power management Data centre energy efficiency - air management - free/controlled/new cooling - power supply/conditioning Synergistic architectures - thin/thick/think client - virtualisation (& powerdown) Greening by ICT

12 GOVERNMENT CIO ADVICE - 1 Remove active screensavers Switch Monitor to Standby Shut down PCs OoH Active power management Re-use, re-cycle or green disposal Low power CPU & high efficiency PSU Thin client Timer switches for non networks devices Set default green print settings

13 GOVERNMENT CIO ADVICE -2 Optimise printer power saving Printer consolidation Device consolidation Server Optimisation Reduce data centre cooling Decommission redundant devices Ensure re-use of serviceable equipment Data Centre Audit

14 DATA CENTRE OPPORTUNITIES Power management Consolidation/Virtualisation More efficient device design More efficient storage Better air management Free/efficient cooling Innovative cooling Flexibility and control Power Conversion & Distribution Server Load/ Computing Operations Cooling Equipment Voltage optimisation Use of DC power Highly efficient UPS systems Efficient redundancy strategies Alternative Energy Supply On-site renewables Waste heat for cooling Fuel cells Thermal storage

15 DATA CENTRE PUE Power Usage Effectiveness - ratio of total energy (ie servers + support) to server energy 1990s centres University of Cardiff University of St Andrews 1.2 Cap Gemini, Swindon 1.1??? CSC, Finland 1.06

16 (MORE) EFFICIENT STORAGE OPTIONS Manage - policies; deduplication Optimise - new configurations Replace - more for less efficient devices Extend - cloud, shared services

17 HILLINGDON 26,500 power savings pa from: Storage management - automated tiering - thin provisioning Storage energy efficiency - less fibre channel - more SATA Virtualisation - 94 production servers to 3

18 ICT BENEFITS SMART 2020 Benefits - 15% cut in CO 2 emissions by $946 billion of cost savings - 5:1 CO 2 avoidance/creation ratio Means - smart grid - intelligent buildings - new ways of working
