Green IT

The study and practice of using computing resources in an efficient, effective and economic way.

An Important Fact

An Important Fact

(By David Tebbutt,Martin Atherton, and Tony Lock)

…of Global CO2 Emissions

DO YOU KNOW

• Datacentres produce 0.3% of world’s CO2

• If designated as a country, datacentres would be 76th on co2 emission list

• Datacentres also consume 0.8% of the world’s electricity

GREEN IS EVERYWHERE

68% Of Executives foresee increased government regulation on environment

77% Of Companies anticipate spending more on Environmental Programs.

80% of all data centers report capacity issues

83% Of Largest Retailers areinvolved in Green Practices.

Actual Amount of Energy Used

Problems

Rising energy prices are increasingly impacting on the cost of doing business

Government imposed levies on carbon production will impact all businesses with businesses increasingly judged according to their environmental credentials, by legislators, customers and shareholders.

Approaches to Green IT

Virtualization Power management Material recycling Telecommuting

A study by McKinsey found that among observed 458 servers at 4 datacentres

32% were running at or below 3%

peak utilization

Virtualization helps reduce server counts

by as much as 65%

Virtualisation

The process of running two or more logical computer systems on one set of hardware.

Contd…

Virtualization helps a company / enterprise lower power and cooling consumption, by reducing the number of machines and servers it needs

Virtualization platforms can run across hundreds of interconnected physical computers and storage devices, to create an entire virtual infrastructure

Power Management

Power Supply Storage Display

Material Recycling

HR233, the U.S. National Computer Recycling Act

e-Waste handling

Telecommuting

Teleconferencing and telepresence technology Web meetings and webinars, where people

can share content and interact with each other through their webcams and PC screens.

Working at home

Green Data Center

Repository for the storage, management, and dissemination of data

Mechanical, lighting, electrical and computer systems designed for maximum energy efficiency and minimum environmental impact

Green Data Center

Datacenter

• Energy Optimized hardware • Energy Smart servers• Storage

• Cooling technologies • Tools, Services and Best

Practices• Virtualization and

Consolidation

Implementation of GDC

The construction and operation of a green data center includes advanced technologies and strategies

Here are some examples: Minimizing the footprints of the buildings Use of low-emission building materials, carpets and

paints Sustainable landscaping Waste recycling Installation of catalytic converters on backup generators Use of alternative energy technologies – eg. photovoltaics The use of hybrid or electric company vehicles

Advantages of GDC

Can be expensive up front, but long-term cost savings can be realized on operations and maintenance

Offers employees a healthy, comfortable work environment

Green facilities enhance relations with local communities

Easier to comply with regulations, if imposed

Elimination of utility shortfall

Green IT trends in India

Seriously concerned about being environmentally-savvy

But few companies are ready to walk the talk

Only 27.2% of Indian businesses have implemented power-saving technologies like hot aisle or cold aisle containment

77% IT companies here feel power shortage in India will soon affect them

Companies planning to spend on energy-efficient servers (for 54% of surveyed Indian businesses) and server virtualization (41%)

Green data center design at Wipro Infotech

New ‘Tier-III’ data center at Greater Noida with replicable green data center model

Extensive planning before selecting data centre solution

Power and cooling identified as the primary areas for green technology deployment

Reduce electrical losses Optimize cooling 60-70% times company recover cost within 4

Recommendations

Online

Dr. John Thompson – Blueprint for Green Computing eSeminar

Increase use of the Internet and your Web site Place information on Web pages, wikis and

blogs instead of making paper copies

Online courses consume nearly 90% less energy & produce 85% fewer CO2

emissions – 2005 report Uses less paper than traditional classroom

Ex. - Online course evals instead of paper Assign online texts or Internet sites Use course management systems

Ex. - Blackboard, ANGEL

Final Recommendations

Pick all the low hanging fruit Small changes make big difference

Conduct energy assessment Set baseline…& measure, measure, measure

Strive to achieve TBL – triple bottom line Economic Environmental Social

Save $$ while helping protect the environment and doing what’s right for society.
