What is Work?

It depends who you ask !

  Born Characterised by:Veterans 1922-1945 Company loyaltyBaby boomers 1946-1964 Financial successGen X 1965-1979 Strongly independentGen Y/Millenials 1980-2000 Personalised work

Baby Boomers are ageing...

Digital Natives are taking over

Work is Something I do

Not Somewhere I go

Wherever I connect my laptop,

that’s my office(with Apologies to Paul Young)

Green thinking and “digital native”

overlap... But

Introducing “The Cool Curve”

Why do I have better IT at home

than in the office ?

O’Neill’s hypothesis. Success in a knowledge based business

depends on attracting and retaining more than your share of smart people.

Is your IT a help or a hindrance ?

The future: The Millennial generation*

Learnt to collaborate at school. Expect it at work.

Natural social networkers Expect to work flexiblyExpect the functions which serve the business to serve them

“The person who picked my Laptop doesn’t have to carry it ”

See a relationships with employers differently.

“Don’t you dare call me a resource”* For a good, if US focused, background, see http://www.generationsatwork.com/articles/millenials.htm

(A journey, not a set of answers)

Server Sprawl ... The Data-centre is FULL

Full of under-utilized serversGreater wattage per unit area than everCompanies worrying about green recordCooling at capacityIn some places, electricity is maxed out

We can’t all move to Iceland

Cold. Remote. Well connected.

Energy Cost Matters

Do you know what your IT energy costs are?Gartner: about 4% – 7% of your IT budget!

Do you think energy costs will rise or decline?

Germany: +36,6% prize increase in last 6 yearsCosts may double over the next 5 years?

“For every $ spent on server hardware,

add the same amount for power and cooling during its

lifetime!”

Average hardware price vs. energy costs over 3 yearsGartner: Why “Going Green” will become essential for data centers 10/2006

Consolidate

You know it’s mainstream when...

Don't Stop At Your Servers!

Vendor information, averaged over several models

Do your PCs run 24 by 7? If so, why?

Business PC 2-3 (8) 3-4 (8) 45-60 80-120

Regular PC 2.5-5 3-4 (8) 50-60 300

Laptops <1 <1 15-30 20-50

Virtualization helps (1)

Virtualization helps (2)Virtualized servers and Dynamic IT

Instead of order ... Wait ... Deliver .... Rack .... Configure ... Install Click or script to provision

Client oriented VirtualizationSpeeds application deployment Facilitates virtual working

Summary

Virtualization is not a silver bullet…But it is a bullet (more than one bullet)

“Green IT” is more than Virtualizing servers

But that is a start Virtualization tools help IT to be more dynamic = more of an asset
