3 Ps ReportingTraditional ReportingNew way of Reporting
Sources of Carbon in IT
IT’s Energy Breakup
IT’s ExpansionEmissions from manufacture and use of PCs will double in next 12 years
Mobile phones carbon footprint will triple by 2020
Datacenters carbon footprint will rise more than five fold from 2002 to 2020
Lifespan of a mobile phone is about 1 year
Lifespan of a desktop or a laptop is about 3 years
All this is eating up natural resources that are not foreverIT’s ExpansionAll this is giving rise to the amount of e-waste
There are not enough recycling facilities/ capabilities
Paperless office is a dream – Less Paper office must be attempted
Paper industry itself has huge carbon footprint

Trees IT’s ExpansionDatacenter energy consumption is expected to double in 10 years or lessSource: EPA Report
IT’s Expansion2 billion people are expected to be on the World Wide Web by 2011
YouTube needs 600 terabytes of storage to show the 100 million videos on its site
Facebook has 60 million+ photos added to its site each week & Over 3 billion photos are served to users daily using 5 terabytes of disk spaceIT’s ExpansionTwo billion RFID tags were sold in 2007 (embedded in products, passports, buildings, animals).
 Estimated to be 30 billion tags (end of 2010)
A single oil or gas field can generate a terabyte of data a dayThen & NowI have changed my view today!
Green IT Is No More Good To Do Thing – ratherIt’s The Thing To Do!There Is Money In Green IT And Its Pure Business!
A quick look at a previous slide…Datacenter energy consumption is expected to double in 10 years or lessSource: EPA Report
The Fact IsIt didn’t double in the last decade!
Reason: Global Recession (not good control!)Energy Costs Are Going Up!
Targeting IT PortionsEnergy Costs Are Going Up!Source: Federal Energy Management Program
So, There Is Sense In Consuming Less By Being Energy Efficient!Reduced Carbon Footprint is a bi-product!Source: Federal Energy Management Program
Datacenter EfficiencyIT Equipment PowerTotal Facility PowerPUE = Total Facility Power / IT Equipment PowerDCiE = IT Equipment Power / Total Facility PowerSource: Green Grid
Datacenter EfficiencyCurrent global averagesTarget global averages
And There Are Always Some Losses!No machine has 100% efficiency
Best efficiencies are achieved at Full Loads
Most of the equipment runs at less than full load most ofthe times
Reasons For Non-Optimal Loads
Generators Are Important Specifically For IndiaSource: TCS Sustainability Report 2009-10
