Remuneration of using Green IT June 18, 2008
Green IT initiatives in the market place-A status Source: IDC Green IT survey
A 360 degree approach • Entire organization is responsible for managing environmental issues • Adopt environment friendly e-waste disposal techniques • The Mantra: Low cost = Efficient = Green • Implement solutions and best practices to solve power and cooling problems • Create metrics to track energy efficient and environment friendly projects • Establish environmental factors as hygiene factors
Some specifics Flat Screen PCs Negotiate on IT investments Server virtualization 100% online invoicing Turning off screen savers low cost procurement Calculate carbon footprint Implement PC Snoozer Wireless devices and applications Personal loans Print Management energy efficient servers Consolidation IP VPN User Mobility Thin clients or blades Focused steps for a Green Horizon ahead Thin provisioning
Paramount adoption motivators • The # 1 driver- reduction in operational costs • Significant market opportunities for green companies • Increased environmental awareness, social responsibility • The pursuit of carbon credit • Regulatory Pressures
IT response to the green challenge • Energy optimized servers use approx. 18% less power • Storage consolidation through thin provisioning & dynamic capacity management saves up to 45% of power & cooling for storage • Virtualization can save up to 70% of the energy required • Smart cooling tactics and save upto 40% of the current energy consumption • Enabling server processor power saving features saves power upto 23%
The ICICI way Implemented virtualization and consolidation in a big way Purchasing greener hardware Recycle electronic equipment responsibly Reduce power consumption by turning off PCs in the evening Reduced paper consumption
Progress so far-A case study Server De-inductions From April 2006 to April 2007 KEY ACHIEVEMENT!! 48 Physical servers consolidated into 1 server Shared Services consolidated for the group
Financial benefit model • Total savings realized has been Rs 1.6 Cr in 1 yr • Total hardware savings for the year was Rs 3.0 Cr approximately
