Technology Deployment Solutions (TDS) provides services to reduce operating and capital expenses for data centers through energy efficiency evaluations and implementations. TDS developed the Data Center Energy Efficiency Framework (DCEEF) which evaluates data centers across five domains and three performance levels to identify recommended practices. TDS then assists clients by conducting assessments using the DCEEF, identifying projects to improve energy efficiency, and providing detailed remediation plans and financial analyses to demonstrate return on investment and potential utility offsets. Fees for assessments range from $8,000 for smaller data centers up to a scoping exercise and fixed fee for larger data centers over 10,000 square feet.

2. Agenda Questions & Next Steps Agenda 1 DCEEF & Potential Utility Off-Sets Background – TDS/GDCA 2 3 4

3. About Us Founding members of GDCA (6,400 Members). Engaged with NYSERDA to create and evaluate best practices in the Data Center Best Practices Model Finished after 2 years of research (11/10) Evaluating 5 Global Entities against Model starting Jan. 2011 Will provide full remediation plans w/ROI on each project Intimate knowledge of Global Data Center Operations techniques Received best practices from over 50 firms with supporting financial analysis Evaluation candidates all have multiple data centers representing 2.7 million square feet of raised floor Background in IT design, build, relocation, and on going operation for the last 15 years TDS is at the forefront of this space, engaged with some of the most advanced companies on the planet in evaluating, implementing and tracking their energy reduction efforts

4. Services TDS focuses on reducing operating and capital expenses associated with Data Center design, build and operation with specific focus on energy consumption. Integrate Data Center into CSR and Energy Efficiency Program Design, Integration, Implementation and On-going Management Our evaluation can be used to leverage Utility, State & Federal funds to offset costs of existing, planned and future EE projects NYSERDA accepts this evaluation in lieu of “Flex-Tech” Partner for Power Procurement & base building (if needed) Data Center cost reduction programs from simple to exotic

5. What is the Data Center Energy Efficiency Framework (DCEEF) Intended to provide holistic view of data center Current Evaluations add depth and data Excellent for huge portfolios of data centers, computer rooms and small IT spaces - Access 1 site and compare - Proving ground for new technologies, techniques and methodologies IT Governance Facilities/RE Process Finance

6. DCEEF Elements Five Domains: FA, IT, PR, GO, & FI, Three Levels and 30 Requirements All suggested solutions have proven data associated with implementation Identifies 30 recommended practices Structure: 3 performance levels Levels Adjust Annually to new practices/data

7. DCEEF Focus Each practice assigned a value Values are based on benefit, cost, and implementation effort Values are directionally aligned with ROI

8. DCEEF Assessment Model Five Domains: FA, IT, PR, GO, & FI, Three Levels and 30 Requirements All suggested solutions have proven ROI data from end users Based on Six Sigma

9. DCEEF Evaluation & Deliverables DCEEF Evaluation Includes Meet with representatives from organization’s IT, Facilities/Real Estate, Operations and Finance departments Provide high level Energy Assessment includes GAP against DCEEF– Report Findings Assist with Project Selection Assists with long term roadmap Select project(s) the organization wishes to pursue Provide highly detailed financial ROI on each project to include specific pricing from vendors and consultants Remediation Plan (s) Provide detailed report on each remediation Anticipated cost Anticipated ROI Rank Order Risk Discounted Analysis (Pareto) Submit to Utility to determine offsets (where available)

10. Assessment Effort/Resource Requirement Assessment Effort/Resource Requirements Client will provide resources with adequate knowledge in the following: Information Technology Data Center Manager/SME (IT) Strategic IT Operations (Process/Governance) Facilities/Real Estate Mechanical/Electrical Engineers Corporate Real Estate (Financial) Financial Senior Executive Responsible for DC CapEx & OpEx IT Financial Anaylst

11. Pricing Assessments can take One to Four months depending on client T&M not to Exceed for Data Centers under 10,000 Square Feet Data Centers beyond 10,000 Square Feet Scoping Exercise – T&M not to exceed $8,000 Includes site visit and initial interview with key stakeholders Deliver project plan, SOW and fixed fee pricing (all fees credited against SOW)

12. Utility Offsets $6 Billion in US and Canada from these types of programs Most States have a program Some fund Data Center Activities Some fund studies like ours up to 75% Utility Based Funds (requires independent 3 rd party) Pre-Study or Measurement & Verification System integration PP&L up to $100K NYSERDA up to $1 Million Pre-set prescriptive – 1 for 1 swap out Custom – Anything that can show a decrease in per Kwh Example – PECO .12 peak .08 off-peak Example – Southern Cal Edison - .50 Demand Response Utility pays monthly stipend for the ABILITY to get off the grid
