IT Power Management Strategy
- 1. IT Power Management Strategy & Business Case Enterprise Architecture Information Technology Services Saint Louis University
- 2. Why Look at Power Issues Now? Proactive financial planning : the AmerenIP Illinois rate change story, future energy costs Policy opportunity to define the default power configuration expectations of electronic devices Environmental stewardship and the University Mission Scheduled PC replacement , with HD data cleansing, creates opportunity to phase in new lower-power technology Disposal Initiative already proposed for responsible electronics recycling and disposal
- 3. Drivers for Computer Power Management Strategy Billiken InfoShield completion: all PCs could now be power-optimized by managed software settings Generational improvements computer hardware (Energy Star advancement) Laptop interest increasing, especially faculty and students Datacenter power load growth, partly from non-enterprise departmental servers Peripherals and electronics default settings offer Energy Star options CRT-based displays seldom purchased now
- 4. Computer Hardware: Generational improvements Personal Computers could be set to use 70% less energy than current (2002 IT Power Costs spreadsheet) CPUs from Intel and AMD now emphasize “power manageability” ( if configured ! ) CPUs sit idle much of the time; new processors can enter “low power” state Sleep instead of “screensavers” = $ savings Managed, automated night shutdown Potential HVAC savings from heat reduction
- 5. Laptops in Energy Strategy? Lowest power requirements, comparable computing power for most users Built-in LCD monitor Battery backup for brown-outs and outages SLU wireless investments promote productive mobility Discourage Monitors! Power savings , costs if external monitors are used
- 6. SLU Personal Computers: 5764 Managed PCs by Summer 2007 No Mac Management at this time
- 7. Potential Savings: Generational Changes in Power Management New Laptops New Desktops 2005 Desktops Assumptions
- 8. Potential Savings: Generational Changes in Power Management New Laptops New Desktops 2005 Desktops
- 9. What Will It Take to Do It? Immediate deployment in 800 “shared use” PCs beginning in May IT rollouts of power-optimized new PCs when purchased Limited, clearly defined “exception request” policy for research computers, special needs Community decision on applying power management to existing SLU-owned PCs Adopt specific institutional PC-power goals Consider student computers’ energy use
- 10. Datacenter Power Strategies & Opportunities IT exploring fewer, but more powerful physical servers hosting multiple “virtual” servers for the future Server “high efficiency” power supplies High-efficiency cooling enclosures Policy needed on criteria for housing non-enterprise servers in Datacenters (unmanaged power growth)
- 11. Printers, Copiers, Electronics Encourage shared printers/copiers over personal printers Enable “Energy Star” default settings as SLU installation standard Expand “smart” shutdown management tools, such as in classroom presentation systems
