Virtualization • What is virtualization? • Different Computing Models • Traditional App/Server • Virtual Server model • Massively virtualized model (Cloud) • Why Virtualization makes sense?
Virtualization - Green Focus The Reality: • Most servers only use 5-15% of their capabilities on average, while consuming 60-90% of their peak power. The Solution - Virtualization: • Use one server to host multiple applications. • Reduce energy consumption • Reduce CO2 emissions Running fewer, highly utilized servers frees up space and power. Less space and power is better for environment and saves money.
Virtualization - Why Virtualize? • Reduce Real Estate Needs • Increase Up Time • Reduce CO2 Emmissions, Power and Cooling Requirements • Increase Flexibility • Reduce Overall Costs
Cloud Computing - What is it? NIST definition: or ... Cloud Computing is the delivery of computing as a service Three primary types of cloud offerings: • Software as a Service (SaaS) • Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) • Platform as a Service (PaaS)
Cloud Computing - Services Software as a Service - SaaS Platform as a Service - PaaS Infrastructure as a Service - IaaS
Cloud Computing - Key Components • Pay as you go • Access from anywhere, anytime, any device • Economy of scale • Flexibility • Expertly Managed
Cloud Computing - Green - PUE • How efficient is your data-center? • PUE = Power Usage Effectiveness
Cloud Computing and Green IT GSA's Cloud Platforms PUE Salesforce: 1.5 --- Google: 1.2 Salesforce is co-located in highly efficientdata centers. Google manages their own data centers.
