"Green IT" is not only save the world for the next generation. The main objective is to reduce costs, improve efficiency, and obtain short-term, measurable results.
The following questions and answers address the business benefits of Eco-informatics and strategies conducive to show how you can profit from going green.
What is the business rationale for Green Computing? Power consumption of data centers doubled between 2000 and 2005. Currently, energy costs take up to one tenth the typical IT budget. According to studies, which could jump 50 percent in the next few years.
The result, according to Gartner, is that 80 percent data centers worldwide are now constrained by heat, space and energy. Going green has become a necessity business to respond to user requests in the budget.
How much energy is wasted in data centers? Gartner estimates that 30 to 60 per cent of energy in data centers is wasted. Inefficient cooling systems are a problem. More to address this problem, another important step is to consolidate data centers by reducing hardware and physical traces through virtualization servers.
Using this approach, Sun Microsystems has completed the construction of three new data centers energy efficient in the United States, India and the United - Kingdom. The three-part formula:
1. Assess Datacenter.
2. Optimizing infrastructure.
3. Deploy Technology virtualization.
The results were dramatic: Sun consolidated 738 storage devices to 225, yet increased capacity storage of 244 percent. The company also consolidated 2177 servers to 1240 but increased computing power by 456 percent.
Consequently these changes, energy costs were reduced by more than 60 percent, saving more than $ 860,000 during the first nine months. In addition to this, initiatives earned nearly $ 1 billion in rebates and awards from Silicon Valley Power.
What are best practices in IT Green? In August, the Environmental Protection Agency released a report at the request of Congress, recommending ways to reduce energy costs in data centers. The 133 page report identifies three sets of guidelines that define a data center: improved practices, best practices, and state of art practices.
* Practices include improved little or no cost activities, such as closed servers that are in use.
* Best practices revolve around things like "energy efficient" servers "and buy more supplies of energy effective seamless.
* State of the art practice involves aggressively consolidating servers and storage, while enabling power management to data center applications, servers and network equipment and storage.
This report can serve as a good model for companies wishing to move to a higher level of eco-friendliness. "It is a function of [that] every organization needs to do a good planning and implementation of best practices that currently exist, Andrew Fanara, team leader of development of the EPA Energy Star said reporters.
What is the main deterrent to green computing? As the EPA report, "people" Trump technology issues. At many companies, the Ministry of facilities management makes decisions on energy costs and availability, but has little to do with IT decisions. In the past, managers have no idea about rising energy bills up that power and cooling issues prevented them from adding servers to the data center. This situation is changing rapidly. "More directors Financial aware of the energy bill, and they begin to hold accountable the ISD, "said David Douglas, vice president of eco responsibility at Sun Microsystems.
What are the advantages of low-line companies have benefited from going green? The case studies of companies benefiting of green computing are growing rapidly. For example, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, one of the largest medical research centers, uses a grid computing high performance to make discoveries that could lead to personalized medical treatments for life threatening diseases. Moreover, this solution reduces power of 67 percent when the systems are not used
Verizon turned to the servers of energy efficient, which have need only one twentieth of the power of the average PC to reduce electricity bills overall power centers new call approximately one third. "At a call center, we received a call from our local utility the next day, we replaced the PC" with new energy-efficient ones, "said Carl Eberling, Verizon Wireless, Vice President of IT. "They were concerned about the sharp drop off in our energy consumption. "
