This document discusses the Greentrac software which helps organizations reduce their energy waste from personal computers (PCs). It does this through features like enforcing power management policies, tracking individual and group energy efficiency scores, and sending subtle messages to encourage more efficient behaviors. The software is easy to deploy, delivers guaranteed savings of $35-$120 per PC per year, and typically pays for itself within 9 months. It allows for flexible policies that address different user needs.
This document discusses how organizations can scale up their computing by making better use of existing infrastructure and reducing waste. It notes that most organizations only utilize 15% of their computing capacity on average. The document advocates assessing current IT systems to identify optimization opportunities like server virtualization, which can reduce servers by 50% and lower costs by over 30%. Reducing waste and improving efficiency of computing infrastructure can enable organizations to do more with less by cutting costs while boosting productivity and capacity.

Energy Efficient Power Management in Virtualized Data CenterIRJET Journal
This document discusses energy efficient power management techniques in virtualized data centers. It begins with an introduction to cloud computing and virtualization. Virtualization allows multiple virtual machines to run on a single physical server, improving efficiency. The main goal is to minimize power consumption in data centers through techniques like VM migration and resource scheduling. This can improve performance and build efficient data centers that use less power. The document reviews different algorithms for resource selection and VM migration, and calculates total power consumption. It discusses open issues around reducing memory power usage. Implementation details cover using CloudSim, a simulation toolkit, to test energy efficient algorithms like VM allocation and migration approaches.
This document provides advice on how companies can survive an economic recession through their IT strategies.

5 Ways To Recession Proof Your Help Desk and get ROI (with Numara Avocent)Phil Gerbyshak
This document discusses five areas where IT service management optimization can provide return on investment: 1) Implementing self-service options for users can reduce costly level 1 service calls by enabling 15-40% of issues to be resolved independently; 2) Power management strategies like putting machines in standby or enabling power-saving settings when not in use can save $20-25 per machine annually; 3) Automating password resets can achieve ROI in 4-6 months by reducing 30% of helpdesk calls while improving security; 4) Effective IT asset management can reduce total cost of ownership by up to $800 per system and 5-35% of annual IT budgets through optimized procurement and maintenance; 5) Analyzing software licensing usage can eliminate
The document discusses the challenges of managing performance for modern web applications. It notes that traditional monitoring tools are inadequate as they do not measure from the user's perspective and cannot account for factors like third-party content and dynamic architectures. The document advocates for a new approach that directly measures response time at the browser level to provide accurate, correlated data across tiers. This real user monitoring allows teams to quickly triage issues, understand business impact, and optimize performance.
