Voices in favor The Carbon Disclosure Report based on

300 of the largest IT companies in England

and France has revealed that the adoption

of cloud computing could lead to a 50%

reduction in carbon emission by 2020. This

will also generating important saving to the

hardware and energy supplies.

Cloud e GreenIT

Cloud – Green It Oriented?

Utilizzatore finale:

- Public Cloud – Green for the end user

- Private Cloud – Partially Green, it take the benefit of vitualization layer and

server consolidation

- Hybrid Cloud – Partially Green, fro the combination of Public and Private

Cloud provider

- IaaS – Green for the virtualization layer adoption, but…..

Is it using power management ?

Is it performing cooling efficiency ?

Is Fault Tolerance mirror applied?

- PaaS – Linked to the architecture (ie. PaaS clustered on physical servers, not in

virtualization layer)

- SaaS – Strictly tied up to the architecture

DataCenter & Green

Generating Sets : Fuel Cell

The First National Bank of Omaha (FNBO - Nebraska, USA) has

builded up a new “undergroud” data center.

The assembly is powered with hydrogen fuel cells, operating completely

"off the grid", not connected to the national grid.

"If the entire city of Omaha loses electrical power, we do not lose." Says

the CIO and SVP Ken Kucera.

The servers and equipment for the cooling of the data center FNBO are

supported by four of phosphoric acid fuel cells which generate up to 225

kW of power.

FNBO is among the few data centers in the United States that are in

whole or in part fed from fuel cells to hydrogen.

First National Bank of Omaha has paid $ 2.6 million for its four

generators, fuel cells, the equivalent of 15 cents per kWh, as opposed to

the local cost of 3.5 cents. But the company has a different logic to

support his investment. Ken Kucera FNBO says that "the ROI target is

achieved any how because a new backup center in excess of $ 75

million is not needed anymore."

IaaS - Infrastructure as a Services is the natural point of transition from traditional enterprise data center. Through server virtualization, networking and storage, consolidated and managed with a single programming interface (ie. vCloud API or AWS webServices) we realize the IaaS.

Server virtualization Reduces energy costs up to from 65% to 80% Increase the use of existing hardware from 10-15% to 80% Reduces the hardware required at a ratio of 10:1 or higher (Server Consolidation) Reduces the physical space occupied by the rack and drastically reduces the cables and wire

R3 Power Management

Power management with System Center Configuration

Manager 2007 R3 takes a conservative approach to

enabling power savings. Power policies can be

created that do not completely shut systems off, but

instead, lower power consumption on components

during idle periods and put systems into sleep mode

instead of turning them completely off. Sleep mode

saves as much power as shutting systems fully down,

but does not carry the same risk of data corruption that

can be associated with forced shutdowns.
