The document discusses green IT and opportunities for improving energy efficiency in data centers and IT operations. It notes that data centers consume large amounts of energy and describes OSSera's approach to green software design through symmetrically distributed and multi-threaded load balancing that allows for high performance computing while improving efficiency. OSSera's platform is designed for scalability, reliability, and flexible yet efficient energy use to support telecom OSS business transformation in a green manner.

3. Datacenter Costs
1 large, 100,000 sq ft
Datacenter
– 30MW Power
Consumption
• Equivalent Power
Consumption of 60,000
individuals
• Equivalent CO2 Output of
6,700 Households or
23,000 cars

4. Data Centers
– Highly energy-intensive and rapidly
growing
– Consume 10 to 100 times more energy
per square foot
than a typical office building
– Large potential impact on electricity
supply
and distribution
– Used about 45 billion kWh
in 2005
– At current rates, power
requirements could double
in 5 years.

5. Key Barriers
• Lack of efficiency definitions for equipment and data
centers (Being addressed by www.thegreengrid.org)
– Service output difficult to measure, varies among applications
– Need for metrics and more data:
How do we account for computing performance?
• Split incentives
– Disconnect between IT and facilities managers
• Risk aversion
– Fear of change and potential downtime; energy efficiency perceived as
a change with uncertain value and risk

8. 2007: Is “Green” Software
Possible?
• “More efficient, 'greener' coding strategies could also come
from developments in high performance computing.
• The requirement to devise smarter software to exploit
parallel, multiprocessor architectures will inevitably mean
more efficient use of hardware resources and better coding
techniques all round.
• It could even mark a return to the obsessions of an earlier age
of software development when resources were scarce - when,
indeed, hardware was big, energy inefficient and expensive.”
“Is Green Software Possible?”, Phil Manchester
It isn't easy being green in an abstract world

”… if your data center's
energy bill is 10% of your
operational cost, it makes
sense for programmers to
write code that will save
energy."

18. Conclusions
• IT is a major power consumer
• A significant percentage of the power is wasted
• Opportunities exist to dramatically improve IT
energy efficiency
• IT can be a very beneficial part of the Green
movement
• Since 2007 OSSera has inherently followed
