Green IT
• Center stage in global business
• Practice of implementing policies and procedures:– to improve the efficiency of computing resources – to reduce the environmental impact of their utilization.
• Success measures:– Economic– Environmental– Social performance

The need for Energy Efficient Infrastructure is clear� Energy costs are increasing worldwide
� Diminishing Power and space capacities
� Increase in Carbon emission
� Higher customer demands
� Government regulations to limit or reduce power consumption
� Data centers consume 1.5% of the total US electricity[US Environmental Protection Agency]
� Only 3% of the total energy is used for processing.
� Reduce the power consumption or reduce the growth?
First time - Political, social & business concerns converge on a single issue – Energy consumption
![Page 4: Pankaj Shah - Network Management Simulations - Interop Mumbai 2009](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042714/54b384364a7959b5428b470c/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Good for the environment &
Good for business
� “Reducing energy costs” - primary motivator for 94% of IT managers
� Energy efficiency:� Quick ROI� Easy to implement� Financial justification
� Need more than recycling or “Smart” devices � Drastic need to conserve energy & space.� Software is a key component in going green� Virtualization or Simulation – Single server for
multiple services

Issues
• Needs a BIG budget
• Multi-vendor, multi-protocols, Multi-environment
• Difficult to change setup for every tests
• Hard to create negative scenarios & harder to reproduce them for every release
• Sharing headaches
• Reliable is always a question
• High Carbon foot prints
Solution: Simulated Lab

Small up-front investment => Immediate ROI
� Replaces thousands of devices
� Drastically reduced capital expense
� Decreases the electricity requirements by 90%
� Reduces the need for huge space
� Trims down the cost of future purchases
� No worry for recycling or disposing e-waste
