Datacenter Trends
Datacenter Consolidation will bring down operating costs
The cost of operating power for servers will surpass the cost
to buy them in the next 5 years
More customers will adopt thin clients
More applications will run outside the datacenter
(Software as a Service, Social Networking)
Datacenter Automation crawls ahead
I/O and memory bottlenecks will be the next capacity
problem to solve for
Modular datacenter design

IT equipment ± 57%
Cooling equipment ± 34%
Power distribution loss ± 7%
Lighting / other ± 2%
Source: The Green Grid
Individual Datacenters can vary substantially
Where does the power go?
Datacenter Strategy, Design, and Build
Design: The Pod Architecture
A group of racks or benches with a common hot or cold aisle used as a
building block to simplify datacenter design for power, cooling, & cabling
Vendor independent,
slab or raised floor, flexible,
scalable, high density

Sun will customize a design to your requirements
Best Practices
Align Facilities, IT & Engineering: Partnering nets significant short term
& long term savings
Design your DC and purchase your IT equipment based on Total Cost of
Ownership (TCO)
Hardware Replacement: Apply new solutions and extend the life of your DC
Simplify Datacenter Design: Pod concept is flexible and easy to right-size
Measure power usage: Visibility gives you power to control
Replace outdated rules of thumb: Raised floors, tight humidity control
Employ liquid cooling for computers and racks
Optimize cooling, air handling
Specify efficient UPS systems and IT power supplies

Sun’s Internal Challenge
Facilities is Sun's second largest expense
Real estate, utility, tax, & support costs
20+ years of organic growth
New products, reorgs, acquisitions
Lack of design standards and control of implementations for global technical
infrastructure
Duplication & inefficiencies
Multi-Billion dollar IT/R&D Technical Infrastructure Portfolio
1.3 million ft2
(120k m2
) of Eng & IT space globally (as of 02/2008)
1,533 individual rooms
IT Space = 8% of the portfolio (160k ft2
/ 15k m2
– 365 rooms)
Engineering = 92% of the portfolio (1.14M ft2
/ 106k m2
– 1168 rooms)
46
Corporate Drive to Reduce Costs
Spotlight: Santa Clara, CA - 2007
Shed 1.8M ft2
(167k m2
) of real estate
Compress 202k ft2
(18.8k m2
) of datacenters space into < 80k ft2
(7,400 m2
) of new
datacenter space in Santa Clara
Project included every major business unit in Sun
12 month project duration (complete by 06/30/2007)
Approach
Phase I: Move 84k ft2
(7,800 m2
) of datacenters into existing space
Phase II: Compress & build < 80k ft2
(7,400 m2
) of next generation datacenter space
in 12 months
