Get started on green IT

With all the focus on going green today, it's important to get started on a green strategy for IT. Organizations should perform an assessment of current power consumption, forecast requirements and identify gaps. Without a strategy, some businesses risk running out of power or being forced to add another data center to access sufficient energy for their IT needs. Here are some rules of thumb.

Featured Case Study

Green Validation Report: 3PAR InServ Storage Arrays

Wikibon reviewed the power measurements made on 3PAR’s InServ E200, S400 and S800 storage arrays. These arrays are built from standard components, and enable the power of different configurations to be calculated. The measurements were made at the component level. The measurements were made across three different workloads:

  • Sequential read, with a 512K block size
  • Random read, with a 16K block size
  • Idle (no data being transferred)
The results of the three workloads were averaged to produce an overall figure of power consumption for each of the components of the 3PAR arrays. Wikibon believes that the benchmarks used and the power measurements made were done professionally and in good faith. In the opinion of Wikibon, this measurement represents a good and reasonable estimate of the power consumed in real world applications across a number of drives for applications typcally found in a data center.

Planning a Green Storage Initiative

Fluctuating energy prices have heightened electricity and energy consumption as a major issue within the technology community. IT is a significant consumer of energy and IT energy costs have been rising disproportionately because of continued investment in denser IT equipment. Estimates from the EPA and others indicate that IT will account for 3% of energy consumption by 2012.

Featured Case Study

Financial giant goes green

The corporate IT group of a very large, worldwide financial organization with 100,000 employees, has initiated an ongoing “greening” process. This is focused largely on reducing energy use both to decrease the corporation's carbon footprint while creating a net savings in operational costs over the lifetime of new, more energy-efficient equipment, including new storage systems.
