Imagine…

Computers left powered on in…• Schools• Colleges• Companies • Banks• Training Centers• Hospitals• Browsing Centers• …• Almost everywhere

The average PC wastes 50% of the power it consumes…Source: ClimateSavers, a Google-led consortium

The Big Picture – why is energy savings in computers important?

A organization with 1,000 PCs can save…

100,000 kWh (units) of electricity in a year

80,000 Kilograms of CO2

95,00,000 Liters of Water

2,000 Full Grown Trees @ 39 Kilograms per year of CO2 absorption

and Rs. 10 Lakhs per annumin electricity bills

Limitations of Traditional Power Management Approaches

▫Power Policy affects People’s Work ! Some examples:

System turns off when you are presenting

Network connection gets terminated

File Download stops due to system going to standby

Software Upgrades get interrupted

5

Limitations of Traditional Power Management Approaches

• Management challenges▫People do not remember to turn off PCs.

How to make sure PCs are powered down on a large scale when employees leave?

6

Limitations of Traditional Power Management Approaches

▫Turning off PCs when they are working irritates people. How can you enable power savings without turning off?

7

Limitations of Traditional Power Management Approaches

• Technical challenges▫Multiple Operating Systems run in

organizations. ▫How to enable Power Savings on a

Large Scale across Operating Systems without spending too much time and effort?

8

Limitations of Traditional Power Management Approaches

▫How to measure Power Savings Impact and convince the management? What is not measured, is not adopted. It is not practically possible to connect an

Energy Meter to every PC to report Power Savings Impact.

IPMPlus energy savings approach is non-intrusive and delivers quantified energy savings

Traditional approach to energy savings in IT infrastructure

IPMPlus approach to energy savings in IT infrastructure

• Generic power optimizations• Time-based policies• Device specific, not scalable

▫ Chip/Server/OS-specific• Intrusive

▫ Impacts User Experience▫ Impacts system performance

• Energy savings not measurable

• Fine-grained power optimizations• Application-sensor policies• Multi-OS support

• Non-intrusive• No impact on User Experience• No impact on performance

• Energy savings quantified

IPMPlus is supported on Windows XP, Vista, 7 & 8RedHat, Ubuntu, CentOS

and Fedora

12

IPMPlus enables Fine-Grained Power Management

• Traditional Approach▫ Can only move systems

across power states as supported in Version/Edition of OS Standby Hibernate Power Off

• IPMPlus approach▫ Can enable fine-grained policies across

groups Set Monitor Working brightness level Set Idle Monitor brightness level Dim Monitor, Turn-off monitor Enable ‘adaptive’ processor speeds Turn off hard-disk

▫ Can enable ‘Do Not Power Off’ conditions If CPU utilization > x% If Network traffic exists If live Print or File Copy operations are

going on

13

IPMPlus enables Fine-Grained Power Management

• Traditional Approach▫ Cannot group nodes and

customize policies for ad-hoc groups – have to follow Domain Groups only

▫ Cannot enable uniform power policies across multiple Editions and Flavors of Operating Systems

▫ Application based power policies NOT possible

• IPMPlus approach▫ Can create ad-hoc groups agnostic of

OS/Flavors/Editions▫ Can apply Custom Policies for each

Group

• Application Sensor based Power Policies can be enabled▫ Patented by Vigyanlabs

XSwitching off PCs after work is fully automated. No need for posters and reminders !

14

Benefits of ‘Application Sensor’ based power policies

• Software Applications drive Computer Resource usage▫ CPU, Memory, Disk I/O, Network I/O

• Using application sensors helps ensure “non-intrusiveness”

Users are happy as their work is not interruptedX

15

IPMPlus enables Software-Energy Metering

• IPMPlus software is capable of measuring▫ Power Consumption and▫ Power Savings

• Proven accuracy of 99% vis-à-vis high precision Schneider Electric Energy Meters

• IPMPlus▫ Eliminates the need to connect Physical Energy Meters to every PC▫ Provides real time energy measurement without any manual effort

X Energy Metering in computers is fully automated. No need to connect physical meters !

16

Using IPMPlus in Computers helps in…

• electricity consumption• cooling loads • peak load demand charges• air pollution• carbon footprint• water wastage

And…Saves MONEY too…

Case Study: IPMPlus delivers 50% energy savings for M.S. Ramiah Institute of Technology

18

Established in 1962, MSRIT is one of India’s finest engineering colleges with NBA Level A accreditation

IPMPlus Deployment

1,600+ PCs and Laptops covered in Phase – 50+ lab facilities and college administration covered

in Phase – 1 Implemented on Windows and Linux operating

systems Go live in 15 days end-to-end Phase – 2 deployment plans to cover nearly 3,000

systems

19

IPMPlus power savings policies helped the institute cut energy consumption by 50% in 6 months

14.79 MWh of electricity saved

50%Reduction in energy consumed

6.72 Tonnes of CO2 emissions reduced

172 TreesEnvironmental impact equal to planting these

many trees

20

The arithmetic of power savings in computers

• Average power consumed by a PC = 1 kWh per day (for 8-9 hours of usage)

• Estimated power consumption by 5,000 PCs in a year with 220 working days (excluding college holidays) = 220 x 5,000 x 1 kWh = 1,100 MegaWattHours

21

The arithmetic of power savings in computers

• At INR 10/- per kWh, Energy Consumed by PCs in a year = 1 Crore 10 Lakhs for 5,000 PCs per annum

• Average idle time in colleges as % of hours of usage = 30-50% • Potential for power savings @ 30% = 330 MWh which

translates to 33 Lakhs per annum

22

The arithmetic of power savings in computers…Advanced Scenario

• There are significant difficulties in procuring power and ensuring power supplies to a large PC user community▫Steadily increasing cost of power per kWh ▫Penalties being levied by Electricity Board for exceeding

limits▫Capital expenditure towards UPS purchase and

maintenance▫Costs of diesel generator backups for many hours every day

23

The arithmetic of power savings in computers…Advanced Scenario

• 30% power savings in computers => 30% More Load can be added on UPS

• 30% power savings => 30% less charge cycles in laptops and consequently, 30% longer battery life

Reducing energy consumption in PCs can help in reducing Total load in UPS and spend on diesel backup
