For the 25,000 square foot data center that spends $2.6 million in power annually, energy costs can be significantly reduced
Save 20 billion kWh per year by 2015 Worth $2 billion, ≈ annual electricity use in 1.8 million American homes Potentially defer need to build 2,300 MW of new generating capacity And avoid 3.4 million metric tons of carbon emissions
(like taking 675,000 cars off the road) Extend life and capacity of existing data center infrastructures

IBM response – Project Big Green
“IBM to reallocate $1 billion a year” . . . Armonk, May 10, 2007
– To guarantee the research and development funding for IT energy efficiency technology.
– Create an 850 member worldwide IBM “Green Team” of energy efficiency specialists.
– Plan, build or prepare our facilities to be Green Data Centers based on IBM best practices and innovative technologies in power and cooling.
– Use virtualization as the technology accelerator for our Green Data Centers – to drive utilization up and our annual power cost per square foot down.
Re-affirmed IBM’s long standing commitment to environmental leadership
– IBM energy conservation efforts from 1990 – 2005 have resulted in a 40% reduction in CO2
emissions and $250 billion in energy savings. IBM is committed to an additional 12% CO2 savings by 2012.
– IBM will double the compute capacity in our Green Data Centers by 2010 without increasing power consumption or carbon footprint, thus avoiding 5 billion kilowatt hours per year.

Drivers for energy management
• Understand the exact power / cooling costs in a data center – Breakdown of costs of the components – Large margins needed to protect power / cooling allocation failures
• Manage the efficiency of the current environment– Get the most out of what is currently installed without having to make large disruptive
change
• Reduce the power / thermal costs– Save energy costs in periods of low utilization– Increase performance without increasing infrastructure (ROI in DC)
• Plan a new or retrofit an existing data center– When retrofitting or building a new data center, do it right the first time – Trending of current energy consumption on individual or groups of systems show
growth patterns in power consumption and cooling needs– Power calculators on new system configurations provides better planning information

Feature of IBM Systems Director
15 © 2007 IBM CorporationIBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager
IBM Systems Director
Active Energy Manager monitoring functionsOffering consists of “no charge” monitor functions
Power Trending– Displays power usage for individual systems over time (in a graph or in table format) to
understand power usage trends within and across their systems
Thermal Trending– Displays information on the inlet and exhaust temperatures for individual systems one at a time
to understand thermal characteristics of systems so that temperature adjustments can be made within the IT shop
iPDU (intelligent Power Distribution Units) – Enables support for power trending for older systems, low- and mid-range storage devices as
well as non-IBM systems. By plugging these systems into an intelligent PDU (a smart power strip) AEM can collect power information from I/O drawers within the iPDU thereby giving a more complete view of power used within a data center
Native Support – Extends power management functions such as power trending, thermal trending, and power
capping, originally available on System x, to multiple IBM platforms enabling power management functions on all IBM systems from a single console which reduces complexity

IBM Systems Director
Active Energy Manager management functionsOffering consists of “priced” management functions
Power Capping– Allocates a maximum power level a system can use without
having to worry about power usage above the maximum point
– AEM will throttle the processor to use less power, which slows down the server, if the system starts to consume more than the maximum level set
– This feature can come into play if it gets too warm in the data center as setting the cap will ensure that the system will not use more than that cap value thus reducing power and thermal usage
Power Savings Mode– Enables a system to save up to 30% of normal CPU power usage
– Power savings is enabled via an on/off switch which can be scheduled during times of low utilization
– Occurs automatically based on processor utilization if the function is supported on the system
– Allows management of power usage as work activity shifts across various demands

Implementing IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager
How does it work?
Hardware, firmware, and systems management software in servers and blades can take inventory of components
– No agents are required on the endpoint servers
Active Energy Manager totals up the power draw for each server/blade and tracks that usage over time
When power is constrained, Active Energy Manager allows power to be allocated on a server by server
– Care taken that limiting power consumption does not affect performance
– Sensors and alerts can warn the user if limiting power to this server could affect performance
In the future group power policies may be developed across groups of servers and reallocated dynamically based on past history

AEM helps with energy management issues
The cost to power and cool servers is increasing and in the future may well equal the cost of acquisition
– Monitoring energy consumption allows better utilization of available energy resources– Power capping increases the level of energy efficiency in IT– Active Energy Manager is one of IBM’s technologies to help clients avoid billions of kilowatt
hours of new energy use
Optimize and manage data center power and cooling– Intelligence and control to manage data center server power utilization – Combination of hardware, system logic and group management tools
Take the guess work out of data center power management
Power control capability ensures data center robustness within a fixed power envelope
Actual power draw, not conservative “label/spec power” estimate
