The Big Question… Why the Endpoint?

It is COOL to be GREEN
4
Data Center PUE Free Cooling Containment
solutions VFD Motors 99% Efficient UPS Virtualization Common Sense…
Endpoint Power Management
Solutions LCD Monitors Low Energy CPUs and
Memory Efficient Power
Supplies Mobile Devices
Green initiatives have become more popular…
There is GREEN to be GREEN
5
Multiple factors make it easier to get capital funding to implement Perception
Transition from favorable to expected Being energy efficient is a requirement vs. a benefit
Financial Benefits Government mandates drive incentive opportunities Rebates available = Shorter return on investment
Political Positive press
6
Make GREEN part of overall IT strategic plans

Data Center Intelligent cooling Installation of VFD motors &
top hats Hot/cold aisle containment
Server Engineering Virtualization Blade infrastructure Cloud solutions
Being green is not just a facilities initiative…
Network Balance power need closely
for POE More efficient power supplies LED Lighting & motion sensors Expanded tolerance for heat
Voice Phones go into power save
mode after-hours
Why the Endpoint?
7
Because there are so many of them! WMC = 18,000+ devices (with 1 or more monitors) Varied usage = Most utilized during business hours Already under management = We have control Varying types of equipment = Efficiency variations Impact/compliment to other green initiatives
Free money!
The GREEN Endpoint…

What type of solution to use?
9
Integrated Leverage existing
infrastructure Integration with
maintenance Patching Software Delivery
Link to business demographics (users)
Appliance Specialized to energy
management Device agnostic
Data Center Endpoint Phone
Fast deployment Agentless
Integrated with management or standalone appliance
Funding/Proposal
OSUMC Facilities provided all capital for project Software Licenses (Perpetual) – 173K Professional services (40 hours) – 9K
AEP committed to 50% rebate on total capital costs Prescriptive incentive Funds provided once report showing software is
installed Forecasted 20% annual software maintenance KEMA (low) savings estimate - $20 device/year Looking at 6 month ROI (with rebate)
Timeline to the baseline… (few challenges)
This will be easy… Incentive deadline – Get it installed!
Started collecting energy use stats Holding pattern… 12 months!
Implement new EMR (largest IT project) Upgrade of backend management solution
Re-install into new backend solution Baseline collected for sample usage areas
Clinical Administrative
The (Not So) GREEN Endpoint

Baseline to predictive models
Is it worth keeping this thing? Maintenance costs kick in
Are we going to really save enough to cover what we are paying for this solution?
Deployment What policies have been put in place? What is holding us back? What can we do NOW?
Solution – Run a predictive model and see if it is worth proceeding
Predictive Model Results
Proof of Concept
Training rooms Implemented a 20 minute stand-by for the monitor Machine went to stand-by after 1 hour of inactivity
Pilot
Clinical workstations Implemented a 20 minute stand-by for the monitor
Select Remote sites Implemented a 20 minute stand-by for the monitor Machine went to stand-by after 1 hour of inactivity Only effective 5PM-7AM
Next steps
Complete roll-out to remaining 20+ remote sites Communication with manager for each location Success = “You did something?”
Targeted roll-out to non-clinical machines in the hospital Follow similar policy structure Ensure remote access is available
Review clinical workstation future Evaluate power management vs. virtualization Thin-Client
Lessons Learned
Something is better than nothing Start conservative and tweak from there Grab a baseline quickly and get it running
Endpoint green initiatives should be part of a larger IT or organizational objective whenever possible
Standby is not the end of the world Integrated vs. standalone solution Rebates are not that hard to get It is the right thing to do
