This document discusses virtualization, cloud computing, and GSA's cloud computing capabilities. It defines virtualization as using one server to host multiple applications to reduce energy consumption and costs. Cloud computing delivers computing as a service through software, platform, and infrastructure offerings. GSA leads the federal government in cloud adoption and offers expertise, security authorization, and acquisition vehicles for cloud solutions.

- 4. Virtualization - GreenFocus The Reality: • Most servers only use 5-15% of their capabilities on average, while consuming 60-90% of their peak power. The Solution - Virtualization: o Use one server to host multiple applications. o Reduce energy consumption o Reduce CO2 emissions Running fewer, highly utilized servers frees up space and power. Less space and power is better for environment and saves money.

Editor's Notes
- #3 Virtualization broadly describes the separation of a resource or request for a service from the underlying physical delivery of that service. in other words ... Use a computer's processing power in any number of ways to support your business needs.
- #4 Single OS image per machine Software and hardware tightly coupled Running multiple applications on same machine Underutilized resources Inflexible and costly infrastructure
- #5 Tie this back to the traditional model and use as basis for virtual model. When you have "this" - these are the trouble areas. In order to resolve these trouble areas, move to a virtual model. Every server virtualized saves 7000kWh of electricity annually, or about $700 in energy costs. 4 tons of CO2 are eliminated for every server virtualized, the equivalent to taking 1.5 cars off the h
- #6 Hardware-independence of operating system and applications Virtual machines can be provisioned to any system Can manage OS and application as a single unit by encapsulating them into virtual machines
- #7 More out of lessPool common infrastructure resources and break the legacy “one application to one server” model with server consolidation.
- #8 Use this as a way to describe the cloud concept. When completely virtualized, allows for the key components of cloud computing, elasticity, provisioning, self service, etc.
- #9 NIST: a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction. Elaborate on what a service actually means: Computing as a Service - How you pay for it? Traditionally you buy the hardware, the software, the people, the space, the energy. The new model is that a vendor provides you with a full solution that covers all these areas for a re-occuring price. Compare it to the model of assembling a car vs renting a car? Why do all this? You can scale as needed with almost zero time impact - storage, processing power. Cost savings associated with volume of users and hardware. Highly trained and skilled experts in the field. Best array of tools, people and capabilities to keep solution up to date and secure. No patches, updates, etc.
- #10 add real examples here as needed.
- #11 Make less techie .. Add talking points to each bullet
- #12 Better define PUE in plain language Excessive energy usage equals increased cost Excessive server space equals increased cost Inefficient server usage equals increased cost Outcome - Cloud providers use less energy, less data center space and more efficiently leverage server usage than traditional data-centers.
- #13 Speak to data center consolidation effort - Use as Traditional Offices even worse - Data Center average is 2.0 ...
