Going Green with Microsoft and Citrix The top 6 things you can do… Rosemary Stark, Microsoft Phil Dean-Jones, Director, Field Sales, Citrix ANZ
Turning off the switch 1 Storage 40 TB = 2,5 – 5,2 KW Datacenter server & cooling • IT = 2% of Australian power consumption • 1.5% of total US electricity in 2006 • Consumption growing at 12% annually • 40%of energy needs from banks IT related • US Env. Protection Agency (EPA) report 8/2007 • Green IT, Swiss Innovation Outlook, IBM Switzerland Network Devices 7% PCs and laptops 30 – 300 W Printer 6% Department server ~400 W Gartner: Conceptualizing 'Green' IT and Data Center Power and Cooling Issues, 9/2007
Best Practices for Datacenter Optimization • Optimized datacenter design includes • Floor layout, hot-/cold-aisle configurations • Clean up cables, empty spaces (“air holes”) • Scalable and energy efficient power-, lighting- cooling equipment • (Dynamic) heat-map http://download.microsoft.com/download/a/7/b/a7b72ab1-ca17-4589-923a-83b0ff57be6d/Energy-Efficiency-Best-Practices-in-Microsoft-Data-Center-Operations-CeBIT.doc

Windows Server 2003 Versus 2008 Your opportunity: Windows Server 2008 upgrade projects
Get Rid Of “Sleepers” 3 10-30% of servers do nothing (Uptime Institute, USA) Your opportunity: Implement System Center Operations Manager
Consolidate 4 Your opportunity: Microsoft Assessment and Planning www.microsoft.com/virtualization ROI/TCO assessmentwww.microsoft.com/virtualization/roitool Infrastructure profiling www.microsoftio.com/osc Consolidation projects – server and application virtualisation
One less car on the road 5 • Your opportunity: • Sell Terminal Services technologies eg. Citrix XenApp • Desktop management project inc System Center Configuration Manager • Sell VDI eg. Citrix XenDesktop 10 PCs left on when not in use = 1 car on the road
Green IT at the DesktopApplication & Desktop Virtualisation 25% of total IT energy Waste and Landfill User carbon footprint
Green IT at the DesktopApplication Virtualisation: Citrix XenApp • Citrix XenApp • Application delivery system for all Windows applications, all users and all locations • Virtualises applications and delivers them to client devices running from virtual machines back at the datacentre • Green XenApp Facts • Focus workload & power-off idle servers: reduce power cost by 50% • Reduce carbon footprint by allowing employees to work from home and therefore consuming costly office resources • Diverts processing power back to datacenter for optimal energy efficiency • Reduce power consumption by desktops up to 90% when using thin clients • Reduce landfill & disposal costs by enabling app access from older devices • Annual energy consumption in the operation phase • PC 343.73 kWh • Thin Client 44.47 kWh • Thin Client + server + air-con 161.61 kWh - 53% • Savings of $29/year/device
Green IT at the DesktopDesktop Virtualisation • Citrix XenDesktop • Deliver desktops from the data center with Virtual Desktop Infrastructure • minimises computing power needed at the client device by centralizing the desktop into the datacenter and using XenApp virtualisation to remotely display the desktop to any device • Reduces TCO by up to 40%* • Green XenDesktop Facts • Devices can be automatically powered down when the office is closed • Reduce carbon footprint by allowing employees to work from home and therefore consuming costly office resources • Diverts processing power back to datacenter for optimal energy efficiency • Reduce power consumption by desktops up to 90% when using thin clients • Reduce landfill & disposal costs by enabling app access from older devices “Through XenDesktop we are able to provide our partners with virtual desktops and key business applications while keeping our data safe and secure within our data centres. The solution ensures a high performance desktop experience while contributing to green programs by reducing energy requirements by 50 percent.
