First: Getting the green ”facts” right

In words

• Telecom and PC/peripherals has bigger footprint than Data Centers

• Small, medium and large data center has similar footprint

• ICT is only 2% of the overall footprint

In analogy

1 car 1000 servers =

Getting people to work in energy efficient ways more important than fixing PUE

2012 Intel will provide CPU that consumes <10 watts. Today most servers

run at +100.

Getting the metrics right: smaller CPUs seem more efficient

Why then build solutions that put complex loads together?

tisdag den 28 juni 2011

Balance multiple factors...

• Performance (CPU)

• Cost ($)

• Power (Watts)

Great performance (CPU) does not mean an overall cost ($) and energy efficient (kW) solution

Today*: Big servers, running complex loads

* = for most of enterprise IT

...with centralized storage solutions

Tomorrow*: distributed applications/storage?

* = eBay, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google, ...

The software/hardware architecture will change

PUE will most likely be almost ”perfect” for the distributed applications
