Who is responsible for energy efficiency in data centers? IBM recommends that one person should be named as being responsible for energy efficiency within data centers One person One (virtual) organisation One budget One process One set of guidelines and best practices One set of tools To manage energy efficiency you need to measure and monitor energy consumption across the Data Center ref European Data Center Code of Conduct

Establish an open-based platform Data Center Service Management Data Center Best Practices, Methodologies, and Services Data Center Service Management Platform Do you need to manage all your key processes from a single interface? Does the health & performance of your applications support your business? Do you need to manage all of your data, information and storage resources? Are your people, applications and data secure? Are you sure? Do you need an energy-efficient datacenter? How will you manage SOA? Can you visualize & control of all your assets? Do you want your asset lifecycle automated? Can you deliver effective network services? Is QoS important? Visibility Control Automation
Perspective on the data center monitoring and management market The current market is a fragmented one, with no standards. There are a myriad of suppliers and solutions, but no single solution that bridges all user pain points. Lacking visibility Understanding need to manage Integrated IT and Facilities ops Clients lack true understanding of data center operational issues: IT/Facilities Room for growth Clients Efficiency seeking visibility to data: Manual processes Estimated usages Niche tools Facilities and to fully optimize business applications Integration of IT and operations Time (years) Gartner Group predicts 60x growth in this space through 2014
Right-sized facilities for optimized IT Start improving data center efficiency by monitoring asset utilization Optimize utilization to gain power savings and the opportunity to reduce cooling See efficiency results with industry standard energy metrics Overall CPU cycle usage very low Realize 60% of servers can be running at less than 5% utilization Ensure high availability by monitoring temperatures in high density IT areas for compliance Use detailed reports to provide energy savings and carbon reduction for incentives Drill down capability identifies assets with low utilization
