The summary provides an overview of the Earth Rangers organization and their green data centre and building initiatives: Earth Rangers is an environmental education non-profit that reaches nearly 300,000 children across Ontario. They built an energy efficient, LEED Gold data centre and building at their Earth Rangers Centre that uses 90% less energy than average. Through partnerships and green technologies like virtualization, solar power, and energy efficient equipment, they created one of the world's greenest and most sustainable facilities focused on reducing environmental impact and costs.

- 37. Penalty-free Scaling - TCO Traditional Use Case: Administrators must balance capacity, performance and by default, utilization. Capacity (spindles) must be added to increase performance. Pillar Use Case: Administrators do not compromise utilization when either performance or capacity requirements change. Pillar delivers the highest utilization rates in the industry On average, customers report their server utilization rates run between 5 to 15% per machine, while storage systems tend to have utilization rates that range between 20 to 25%” --- Aberdeen Group Traditional Use Case: Administrators must balance capacity, performance and by default, utilization. Capacity (spindles) must be added to increase performance. High Utilization = Green : Much like server virtualization – the higher the storage utilization, the more money you save.

- So, why do companies invest in Green IT? To save money!! Although it is interesting to note that different groups say different things, depending on who we survey. C-E-O’s say it’s to support values.

- The M1000e chassis enhancements will extend and enhance Dell’s leadership position in power efficiency and performance per watt, as well as setting new standards for usability and manageability New ultra-efficient PSUs and fans will widen the gap of measured efficiency vs. Dell’s competitors, extending Dell’s leadership position. New ultra-efficient 2700W power supplies (94+% efficiency) New HE fans deliver efficient cooling while reducing overall power
- This is an example of a VMware customer’s dramatic results from building this transparent cloud infrastructure is an economic break-through. Customers save up to 60% in CapEx on a per application basis. Similarly customers increase labor productivity / decrease datacenter operating cost by ~2-3x. Supporting data: CapEx. VMware has hundreds of documented customers case studies where companies have been able to decrease the physical infrastructure cost per application by more than 50%. OpEx Before VMware, IDC claims an average of about 30 servers per admin. After virtualization, they typically see the number increase 3x. In the TAM program, we considered collecting this statistic. A large money management firm in the US achieved 300 : 1 ratio (Approximately 1500 VMs to 5 Admins). A leading banks in the US with about 2000 VMs had between 8 to 10 VI administrators (200:1). IDC has claimed that average server to admin ratios with VMware are 3x or 90 server per admin (John Humphreys, Vforum preso / Virtualization 2.0). Risk reduction: Safeco – a $2 bn insurance company calculates that before VMware they would have taken about 40 hrs to recover from a disaster resulting in about $30 MM business loss. After VMware they would need about 4.5 hrs to recover from disaster, reducing the business loss from $30 MM to about $4MM.
- Most servers consume 50% of their peak power requirement even when idle. Distributed Power Management helps you really manage your power bill without compromising on resource availability to virtual machines Put host in stand-by mode if: total demand + reserve <= total capacity minus host capacity MORE DETAIL FOR INTERESTED CUSTOMERS: Users can define: Reserve capacity to always be available Time for which load history can be monitored before the power off decision is made. Time for which load history can be monitored before the power on decision is made. Power on will also be triggered when there aren’t enough resources available to power-on a VM or when more spare capacity needed for HA. Stand-by mode means the host is powered off (S5). There are sub-modes to standby mode: When a recommendation to go into standby is accepted, the host immediately enters standby/entering mode. In this mode the machine is still powered on and may still have some VMs running on it. They must be migrated off, and no new VMs can be started/migrated on the host. When the host is evacuated, it can be powered off ( standby/off ) At some later point, if a recommendation to leave standby mode is accepted, the machine is powered up and begins to boot ( standby/leaving ). No VMs can be migrated on it until it's fully up. Automation options: Automation level Automatic – DPM makes power on/off recommendations and executes them Manual – DPM makes power on/off recommendations and admin chooses whether or not to execute them Off – DPM is disabled Automation level defined on per-cluster & per-host basis Advanced options for tuning load parameters Manual power off/on of hosts Requirements and considerations: Running Virtual Center with DRS VMotion compatible cluster Shared storage Compatible processor architectures VMkernel/VMotion network Hosts with Wake on LAN NICs with Wake on LAN Configure these as the VMotion NICs Test Wake on LAN prior to using DPM in production Manually power off and then power on each host using VC UI
- Pillar’s founding principles have been with pillar since its beginning
- Corporate Overview August 13, 2007 Proprietary Leveraging many of the functional points already covered, Pillar is able to deliver the highest utilization rates in the industry. Most analysts estimate that 35-40% utilization of physical capacity is standard. In Pillar’s case, our customers on average run at 62% utilization, with many reaching over 80%. To understand how we are different, it is important to review the fact that traditional storage requires customers to balance their capacity and performance requirements when provisioning and planning for new applications. This always has been at the expense of utilization because as capacity needs increase and existing drives are filled, performance suffers. The only remedy is to add even more spindles to an array, lowering utilization in the process. Given Axiom’s ability to scale both capacity and performance independently, administrators longer need to worry about the number of spindles supporting a given capacity and performance level. Either variable is easily altered by adding modular components such as a new storage controller (Slammer) or capacity tray (Brick). Additionally, when new components are added, there is no data migration required.

- Easy to Recycle at End of Life And finally, using Lexmark products the right way means doing the right thing when you are done with them. Lexmark’s offers free recycling programs for our cartridges as well as our printer hardware. To make it easy for employees to participate and to enhance return volumes, we offer customized corporate collection programs. We reuse or recycle 100% of the laser cartridges we collect, keeping millions of pounds of material out of the solid waste stream annually. And more than 99% of the materials used in our printers can be recycled.
- Unmanaged Output Managing printers and copiers has historically been an administrative nightmare. As a result, many organizations simply choose to ignore them. Analyst estimates indicate that 67% of all organizations have no idea how much they print* . Most don’t know how many devices they have. The result is hundreds or even thousands of unmanaged devices generating millions of unmanaged pages every year, driving up unnecessary cost for your organization and draining natural resources. * IDC
