Energy and Server Efficiency Solutions Could Save Fed $6 Billion Over the Next Five Years;
Research Suggests Federal Agencies Top Energy Management Priorities are Consolidating
Hardware and Generating Internal Awareness
Results have now been released of a recent study carried out by 1E to measuring Federal agencies awareness ofand ability to comply with energy management rules and regulations. The research indicates that only 13 percent
of Federal agency respondents were definitely ready to comply with mandatory energy reduction programs at
the end of 2010.
The study found that more than a quarter of respondents think their Federal agency is not required to comply with
mandatory energy reduction programs. Basic awareness of programs varied 50 percent were aware of the
Federal Data Center Consolidation Initiative, 38 percent were aware of the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) Scorecards and 31 percent were aware of the Executive Order 13423 and Executive Order 13514.Meanwhile, twenty-three percent of respondents were unaware of any such programs.
Energy management strategies varied across respondent agencies, though consolidating hardware and generating
awareness were top responses when asked about current energy management strategies. This suggests that
energy management is still in its infancy within federal agencies. Proven PC power management solutions like
NightWatchman have been available for several years and have saved commercial customers more than $550
million in energy costs to date. Comprehensive server efficiency solutions are also available, like NightWatchmanServer, which helps identify servers that are not doing useful work. Server consolidation and awareness alone do
not lead to lasting savings.
Virtual server sprawl may be set to become a larger problem within federal agency data centers, as 58 percent of
respondents were aware of the issue, yet 29 percent do not monitor their virtual servers performance to
determine if those assets are doing useful work, or the tasks for which they were bought and provisioned. As
many respondents indicated that their energy management strategy is to consolidate hardware, the survey
suggests that underused virtual servers will become a greater cost drain on agencies if gone unchecked.
