Energy Consumption & Costs

 

Energy consumption is a critical issue for IT organizations today. In the United States alone, data centers consumed 4.5 billion kWh annually, and this figure has doubled from 2000 to 2006.

 

Analyst firm IDC3 states that the un-utilized server capacity equates to approximately:
  • US$140 billion
  • 3 years of supply of hardware
  • More than 20 million servers

At 4 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) annually per server, these un-utilized servers produce a total of more than 80 million tons of CO2 per year. This is more than emitted from the country of Thailand and more than half of ALL countries in South America.
Server Energy Consuption

Solution: Server Consolidation

  

Server Consolidation

The key benefit of virtualization technology is the ability to contain and consolidate the number of servers in a datacenter. Dramatically reducing server count has a transformational impact on IT energy consumption. Reducing the number of physical servers through virtualization cuts power and cooling costs and provides more computing power in less space. As a result, energy consumption typically decreases by 80 percent.
    

Solution: Right-Sizing of Virtual Infrastructure


Using virtualization technology, businesses can right-size their IT infrastructure to reduce costs, improve flexibility, and help the environment. Every server that is virtualized saves 7,000 kWh of electricity and four tons of carbon dioxide emission per year.

If more than 1 million workloads can be deployed with virtualization, the aggregate power savings are about 8 billion kWh, which is more than the heating, ventilation and cooling electricity consumed in New England in a year.
