GREEN TECHNOLOGY

13. Server Consolidation – Go Green!
 Through consolidation and virtualization of servers
using VMware, City of Newburyport will drastically
reduce their carbon footprint:
Reduce energy costs by 80%
Power down servers without affecting applications or
users
Green your datacenter while decreasing costs and
improving service levels
13

14. Reduce Energy Costs
 Consolidate Servers - Consolidation of servers
eliminates server sprawl and cuts maintenance costs
 Reduce Energy Consumption - Every server
virtualized saves 7000kWh of electricity annually or
about $700 in energy costs
 Increase IT Capacity - Improve server utilization rates
from 5-15% to 60-80%. Running fewer, highly utilized
servers frees up space and power.
 Reduce CO2 Emissions – 4 tons of CO2 are
eliminated for every server virtualized; the equivalent to
taking 1.5 cars off the highway!
