Enterprise-level Green ICT Using virtualization to balance energy economicsIJARIDEA Journal
Abstract— The computing industry has been a significant contributor to global warming ever since its
inception. Performance maximization per unit has cost remained the prime focus of academic and industrial
research alike, ignoring environmental impacts in the process if any. However, the infamous global energy
crisis has inevitably pushed power and energy management up the priority list of computing design and
management activities for purely economic reasons today. Green IT lays emphasis on including the
dimensions of environmental sustainability, the offsets of energy efficiency, and the total cost of
disposal and recycling. A green computing initiative must be adaptive and flexible enough to be
able to address problems that keep on increasing in size and complexity with time. Cloud computing concepts
can invariably be applied to reduce e-waste generation. The service oriented architecture lends itself to
incorporating green computing as a process rather than a product. Re-usability, extensibility and flexibility
are some of the key characteristics which are inherent to the cloud and directly help address the vertical
specific challenges to reducing energy consumption in the long run.
Keywords— Cloud computing, Electronic waste, Green Information Technology, Service oriented architecture.

IEEE ISSRE 2018 - Use of Self-Healing Techniques to Improve the Reliability o...Nicolas Brousse
The advertising industry faces numerous challenges in achieving its goal of targeting a given audience dynamically and accurately in order to deliver a meaningful brand message. Near real-time, low latency delivery of dynamic content, the sheer volume of information processed, and the sparse geographic distribution of the intended eyeball traffic all drive the complexity of building a successful experience for the end user and the brand. Additionally, the competitiveness of the industry makes it critical to preserve low operational expenses while delivering reliably at scale. In attempting to address the above, we have found that a distributed infrastructure that leverages public cloud providers and a private cloud with open infrastructure technologies can deliver dynamic advertising content with low latency while preserving its high availability. But network or physical utility infrastructures can’t be relied on to ensure the service dependability. We show that the complexity of the networks, the sparse geographic distribution of eyeballs, the risk of data center failures, and the increase of encrypted transactions call for thoughtful architectures. The introduction of modern practices, failure injections, and self-healing mechanisms allowed us to improve the service fault tolerance while optimizing for latency and significantly improve our service reliability.
The article looks at how new technologies will lead to an increasingly integrated approach within the O&G sector, siting specifics such as the IoT and robotics & the radical impact they will have on optimising productions within the sector.

Comparing Stability and Sustainability in Agile SystemsRob Healy
Copy of the presentation given at XP2024 based on a research paper.
In this paper we explain wat overwork is and the physical and mental health risks associated with it.
We then explore how overwork relates to system stability and inventory.
Finally there is a call to action for Team Leads / Scrum Masters / Managers to measure and monitor excess work for individual teams.
This short presentation was given on 12 Dec 2023 at the Doctoral College Sustainability Lunch un University of Limerick.
In it we present our work in researching Agile queueing systems and present it from the perspective of the UN Sustainability Goal of "Decent work and Economic Growth". We made the case that "Decent Work" means not excessive work which can lead to anxiety, depression and burnout. We showed the prevalence of excessive work in Agile software development systems where 79% of projects reviewed in 13 organisations over a 20 year period had more work arrive per unit time than the people doing the work were able to deliver. We make the case for better measuring and improvement of systems for the people doing the work and with improved results for the companies and customers waiting on the work to be completed.

The Agile Retrospective is one of the primary feedback loops for a team to drive it's continuous improvement. In this short deck we look at 5W+H of retros. What are they, why are they needed, who needs to attend (and not), when do they need to be run, where (under what conditions) do they need to be run and tips and tricks on how to run a retro.
Agile in the Casino - Using Monte Carlo for Unstable SystemsRob Healy
Agile systems are inherently unstable where the outflow of work rarely matches the inflow. In a stable system Little's Law, (the relationship between throughput, cycle time and work in progress)
applies.
This presentation looks at systems where Little's Law does not apply and uses Monte Carlo techniques to map the relationship between arrival rates, departure rates, cycle time and total work in progress. Unlike Little's Law this technique is non-linear and stochastic in nature. However, it does not require the imposition of false stability through very high (40%-60%) of customer requests.
This presentation shows how Monte Carlo may be used
to tackle questions like "what is the correct size for a backlog?" and "should we add more team members / a new team" inexpensively to help Agile management.

7. How Much Waste?
Approximately 71% of all businesses have a website 3. Overall, there are now an
estimated 100,000,000 webservers in the world currently 4.
If all of these were all running 24/7 it would take approximately 743 billion kWh
of electricity to power all these 5.
Using the average amount of CO2 to produce a kilowatt-hour of 0.468 kg 6, it
suggests 0.35 billon tons of CO2 are used to run webservers each year.
This compares well with the estimated annual output of CO2 resulting from the
production and running of digital media of 1.7 billion tons of CO2

Time for some maths...
8. The Fallacy of Six-Nines Availability
One of the attractions of the Internet was the ability for businesses to be "always on" -
with website operators offering guarantees that the business site would be accessible.
"Four-nines" meant a website would be available for 99.99% of the time; "six-nines" meant
99.9999% availability and so on.
Always-on, 24/7 business seemed like a good idea,
in principle anyone anywhere could buy from a company.
As a result, websites operating 24/7 are the current norm.
However, 99.7% of businesses are small local businesses 1. Up to 46% of all Google
searches are for local businesses with 72% of people who perform a local search visiting a
store within a 5-mile / 8-kilometre radius 2.
Most businesses will see daily and weekly cycles of visitors to their website. For the vast
majority, the website clicks correlate with the business hours. This means that the energy
used to run the website outside those hours is, to some degree, wasted.

11. Saving the World, a Kilowatt-Hour at a time
The 12/6 Initiative seeks to get up to 10% of the worlds webservers to
be powered down outside historic peak website traffic hours.
For many businesses that operate from 9 am to 5 pm Monday to Saturday, the webservers
would be available from 7 am to 7pm on these days and powered down otherwise.
The move from 24/7 to 12/6 would save 57.2% in wasted energy and wasted electricity costs.
If only 10% of servers round the world could achieve this reduction 19,900,000 tons of carbon
would not be produced.
For perspective, that the equivalent weight of 100,000 mature blue whales saved, every year.
In addition, by changing from "always-on" we can allow business owners and employees to
have some downtime as well as the machines that run websites and IT operations.
Note: Not all companies will be willing or able to turn off servers for that amount of time. We
are recommending a data-lead approach so that servers are enabled and disabled just-in-
time based off historic low traffic hours.
11
From 24/7 to 12/6 Initiative
12. But wait, there's more...
The move from 24/7 to 12/6 not only saves 57.2% in wasted energy and wasted
electricity costs - it also reduces the potential attack surface for hackers and
ransomware attacks by up to 57.2% also.
Approximately 30,000 new websites are hacked daily with a 67% increase in the last 5
years 8.
Ransomware is one of the fastest growing trends with an estimate that there is an
attack every 11 seconds 9.
By powering down as many machines, especially servers as possible when they aren't
in use, the opportunity for attack is reduced and backup and restore policies can be
tested better.
12
Reducing the attack surface for hackers
16. We (all) have to learn how to switch off to save
16
Using data to get to 12/6
When do we really need a server to
be on?
Do we have servers / data centres
in multiple geographic locations
(Follow the Sun model)?
Is pre-production / production on
same servers?
17. ESG Requirements as a Supplier
In 2015, 196 parties adopted The Paris Agreement, aligning on trying to limit global warming to 1.5°C.
To achieve this goal, global GHG emissions should peak by 2020 and halve by 2030 to reach net zero by 2050 [10].
Many companies set a Carbon Neutral target for their own operations, including our clients.
Moreover, we – as their supplier – also impact their footprint and they expect us to reduce.
How is Carbon Footprint measured?
Scope 1: direct: company facilities and vehicles
Scope 2: indirect: purchased electricity, steam, heating and cooling for own use
Scope 3: indirect: many factors e.g. purchased goods and services (suppliers)
With the 12/6 Initiative we reveal a tangible and realistic way to reduce GHG emissions in Scope 2 (when servers are
onsite) and in Scope 3 (when using external data centers). Additionally, the initiative also supports data centers
themselves in their way towards sustainability by driving efficiency in their operations [11].
17
Relevant and measurable impact for emissions reduction
18. How Automating Backup and Restore
We worked with IT to see how possible it
was to turn off some of our servers in 2022.
Feedback was that “it would be the
equivalent of running a full restore
procedure, every weekend, potentially
nightly”.
