CARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIONS COEFFICIENT(“CARBON FOOTPRINT”) This is a measurement of the amount of greenhouse gas, including carbon dioxide (CO2) caused by carbon emissions from electricity consumed by a data center
DATA CENTERS AND ELECTRICITY • Obviously, IT runs on electricity • Demands are increasing • Produced in large scale predominantly via coal today • Other methods include Hydroelectric, Natural Gas, Nuclear • Pros and Cons with Each • Coal burning plants have come a long way in terms of lowering emissions • New renewable energy methods are gaining momentum – solar, wind, wave, geothermal, etc. • Carbon Footprint • Amount of CO2 released into the environment by humans • Carbon Trading – market mechanism that economically incents an organizations to buy and sell carbon credits • Carbon tax – government taxes organizations based on CO2 released • Water Consumption • A lot of water is consumed during power generation • Data centers use water for cooling • Fresh water could very well be a future problem
POWER CONSUMPTION • Chiller 33% • IT Equipment 30% • UPS 18% • Computer Room Air Conditioning (CRAC) 9% • Power DistributionUnits (PDUs) 5% • Humidifiers 3% • Switch / generator 1% • Lighting 1% Notice how only 30% of each watt actually goes to the IT Equipment. Out of every 10 watts sent to the data center, only 3 wind up being used by IT equipment. 42% goes to cooling 24% goes to power
Conventional Data Center • High energy usage (for the requirements of every component in the data centre)
WHAT IS GREEN DATA CENTRE ? • A green data center is a repository for the storage, management, and dissemination of data in which the mechanical, lighting, electrical and computer systems are designed for maximum energy efficiency and minimum environment impact Education SNIA – Building the Green Data Center 2008 Data Center Green Computing Green Data Center
What is greendata centre? • Energy saving • Maximum power efficiency • Minimising carbon footprints; • Usage of low-emission materials for the building; • Sustainable landscaping; • Recycle waste materials • Alternative power source (e.g. solar energy).
The real question for Data Center managers is not “Why” but …How?
How to go green? • Security System • Cooling System • Lighting • Network Communication Equipment • Fire Prevention System • Computer Equipment • Backup / Disaster Recovery
Security System • Video camera surveillance • Security guards • Finger print recognition • Restricted access • Access card for authorised personnel • Physical access
Cooling System • Air conditioning system • Redesign your cooling system • Modular cooling system • less power • less carbon footprint
Lighting • Use LEDs • Less power • Less heat • Energy saving lights Rule-of-thumb: 2W per sq.ft / 21.5W per sq.m. (conventional DC)
Network Communication Equipment • Routers • Switches • Monitoring system (onsite and remote) • Internet connection • Look outside the data center
Fire Prevention System • Smoke detectors • Fire suppression systems
Use adjustable equipments • Hot aisle / cold aisle configuration to manage air flow • Conserve energy • Lower cooling costs
Computer Equipment • Virtualize your server • Use energy Star-Rated appliances • Donate or recycle legacy servers • UPS
Backup / Disaster Recovery • On-site • Off-site • Cold site / warm site / hot site • Encrypted backups over the Internet • Usage of Cloud services • Minimise downtime
GREEN IT METRICS • Need baselines! • Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) • PUE = Total Data Center Facility Power / IT Equipment Power • Total Data Center Power includes everything – PDUs, CRACs, IT Equipment, etc. • IT Equipment Power is just computers, switches, network gear, etc. • Can use to calculate demands • If PUE = 3 and new devices is 100 watts then total energy demands could be 3 x 100 = 300 watts total • Data Center Infrastructure Efficiency (DCiE) • 1/PUE or IT Equipment Power / Total Data Center Power • Just a reciprocal but shows what amount of total power is being used by the IT equipment • Understand Actual Usage and Costs • By Service ideally
ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES • Disadvantages • Special Units Required • Some changes are required in infrastructure • Scattered IT infrastructure • Outdated infrastructures • Advantages • Saves energy • Low cost of operations and maintenance in the long run • Reduces CO2 dissipation • Healthy Environment • Increases device’s life • Faster Operations • Easy To Implement • Improves Utilization • Helps to save the world environment
TECHNICAL OPPORTUNITIES (1) • Consolidate Applications • Do you really need 20 different financial packages? • Can you reduce the servers and storage? • Identify and Remove Ghosts • 20-30% of servers may no longer be generating valuebut till incurring operating expenses1 • 1 Watt IT Equipment Saved Reduces Cooling 1 Watt • Savings on IT equipment can be a 2-for-1 or even greater • Newer is Typically Better • Some cultures “run until things break” • Some systems are 10-20 years old • Newer has more efficient components, better power management, etc. • Fairly true across the board: • Servers – Can have dramatic savings considering low average computational utilization to begin with • Desktops – Reductions of over 50% • UPSes – reduction of power loss of up to 70% over 15 year old systems1 • Chillers –Reductions of 50%2 1 Brill, Kenneth G. "Data Center Dirty Secrets." Forbes. June 30, 2008. http://www.forbes.com/technology/2008/06/29/google-microsoft-economics-tech-cio-cx_kgb_0630goog.html 2 The Green Data Center: Steps for the Journey. http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/redp4413.html
TECHNICAL OPPORTUNITIES (2) • Consolidation & Virtualization of Servers • Easy to add/remove servers • Only power up what is needed • Virtualize hosts or even the data center • Data Center Design • Set the temperature no colder than it needs to be • Temperature based on manufacturer recommendations • Do not want to void warranties! • Set on the cool intake side, not the exhaust side • Improve air flow • Utilize hot and cold aisle designs • close leaks, partitions, properly place ducts, cooling tiles, diffusers, etc. • Leverage economizers in the cooling system • Replace old PDUs, Chillers, CRACs, etc.
TECHNICAL OPPORTUNITIES (3) • Pursue Modular Design Approaches • How can we scale over time • We are increasingly zone-centric – not average • Need to evaluate pods • Evolved from electrical component, to board level, to server and now to pod-level • Use Power Management Features • Studies have shown that usage fluctuates on many systems but power consumption does not – this tells us that existing power management features are not being used • Proper configuration can reduce power demands by 20%1 • Understand Redundancy Energy Costs of redundancy • Redundant (N+1) systems – spares are consuming power if on • Sometimes hot backups are needed, but not always • Review if clusters / hot spares are always needed
TECHNICAL OPPORTUNITIES (4) • Monitor Power Use • Monitor power to the rack level if possible • Track and trend over time • Distributed Generation / On-site Generation • Augmentation - Supply peak power • Cover power loss from utility • Re-sell power to the utility • Technologies • Geothermal • Chena hot springs dropped kw/hr cost from $0.30 to $0.06 • Hydroelectric • Solar power • Wind Turbines • More options are appearing weekly!
CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT • The first step is only the beginning of a journey • Needs will change as technologies and the world changes • Leverage metrics where possible to track status • Conduct quarterly reviews of progress • Maintain the tone from the top • Formally schedule reviews to assess the current state and look for new opportunities
Conclusion • Green Data Center: • Gives global impact • Equipment designed for energy efficiency and eco-friendly; • Implementing is of high cost initially; • reduces cost in the long run; • Benefits in the long run.
