Businesses with larger data centers spend more on power and cooling than on the servers themselves

Companies are struggling with dated equipment, sprawling data centers, increased power requirements, under-utilized servers and shrinking budgets

Many enterprises have older servers that don’t meet today’s business needs and need to be upgraded.

Businesses need to run a more “green” business and be part of a Smarter Planet

Critical challenges facing businesses today!

Energy usage is a top concern for datacenter owners

IT energy demand doubling every 9-24 months

6500 US Datacenters consume electricity = state of Utah

100 units of energy generation = 3 units of work for productive IT

IT accounts for 2% of anthropogenic CO2 emissions

eWaste cannot be ignored – 1 billion computers potential scrap by 2010

Power – the Number One Issue

"Even without factoring in the need for additional systems, due to need for faster processors and the reality of higher energy prices/watt, Robert Francis Group believes power will be the number one issue for most large company IT executives to address in the next 2-4 years. Ignoring this issue will NOT be an option. Power consideration must be incorporated into data center planning. This includes close cooperation with facilities management, intelligent reduction of unneeded applications, systems, and infrastructure, and re-evaluating system design with an emphasis on power efficiency as a fundamental design criterion.“

Robert Francis Group, Industry Analyst

The most energy efficient 2-socket 1U and 2U servers: the System x3550 M2 and the System x3650 M2 1

In a head-to-head match up of new 2-socket 1U Intel® Xeon servers, the IBM System x3550 M2 delivers 5% better performance per watt than the Dell PowerEdge R610 and 22% better performance per watt than the HP DL360 G6.

For 2-socket 2U Intel® Xeon servers, the IBM System x3650 M2 delivers 6% better performance per watt than the Dell PowerEdge R710 and 9% better performance per watt than the HP DL380 G6.

IBM delivers leadership results for 2-socket x86 rack servers across a range of industry benchmarks.

IBM beats HP's published results in performance per watt, Java and SAP benchmarks. 3

IBM beats Dell's published results in performance per watt, Java, SAP and transaction processing benchmarks, offering a strong virtualization option against competitive rack offerings. 3

1 According to the SPEC® (Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation) performance per watt results published June 10, 2009.

Reduce costs through energy efficiency

Energy efficiency innovation in the x3550 M2 and x3650 M2 include:

New, greater than 92 percent efficiency power supplies exceed the CSCI 7/09-6/10, 80 Plus Gold efficiency standard

Up to 60 percent reduction in power when idle and up to 25 percent reduction when fully utilized vs. the previous generation

$100 in energy savings per server per year

Significantly reduce TCO with leadership energy efficiency.

All new thermal designs New voltage regulators and higher

integration on the board simplifies power distribution and reduces distribution loss

Pressure-sensitive altimeter comes standard in the x3550 M2 and x3650 M2
