Analyze, identify and mitigate networking issues with regards to Green IT principles and suggest process improvement measures in terms of re-engineering networking infrastructure for optimal usage and benefits.

1. Team : Route 157
Members: Adithya, Aswin, Vivek & Rupesh

2. • Initiative by UIC-Office of Sustainability to
make UIC a green Campus.
• IT Infrastructure at UIC currently serves various
departments, staff and students.

3. High Power consumption
Energy efficiency- Disparate energy monitors
Lack of focus on IT power consumption
Lack of integration
Reduce Energy consumption and costs
Increase energy efficiency
Comply with government regulation

4. Analyze power consumption
Factors defining “Green Network”
Energy Efficiency
Application Enablement
Lifecycle Approach
Assumptions:
UIC network uses cisco routers and switches based on
case diagram

6. Cisco EnergyWise
Phases :
Software upgrades to Cisco’s gear
Partnership with multiple vendors
Cisco EnergyWise Software kit for other devices
Benefits:
Lowers TCO
Organization wide sustainability
Converges disparate networks, services and devices
Risks:
Administrative burden for network admins
Creates more vulnerabilities
Deviation from fundamental energy-savings

8. Measuring energy efficiency of the network
Measuring current energy usage
Assessing productive network functions
Analyzing network architecture
Compare Energy Efficiency of components
Identifying KPIs to measure success
Energy Savings analysis
Cost Benefit analysis
