It is COOL to be GREEN

Memory Efficient Power

Supplies Mobile Devices

Green initiatives have become more popular…

There is GREEN to be GREEN

5

Multiple factors make it easier to get capital funding to implement Perception

Transition from favorable to expected Being energy efficient is a requirement vs. a benefit

Financial Benefits Government mandates drive incentive opportunities Rebates available = Shorter return on investment

Political Positive press

Make GREEN part of overall IT strategic plans

Being green is not just a facilities initiative…

Network Balance power need closely

for POE More efficient power supplies LED Lighting & motion sensors Expanded tolerance for heat

Voice Phones go into power save

mode after-hours

Why the Endpoint?

7

Because there are so many of them! WMC = 18,000+ devices (with 1 or more monitors) Varied usage = Most utilized during business hours Already under management = We have control Varying types of equipment = Efficiency variations Impact/compliment to other green initiatives

Free money!

What type of solution to use?

9

Integrated Leverage existing

infrastructure Integration with

maintenance Patching Software Delivery

Link to business demographics (users)

Appliance Specialized to energy

management Device agnostic

Data Center Endpoint Phone

Fast deployment Agentless

Integrated with management or standalone appliance

Funding/Proposal

OSUMC Facilities provided all capital for project Software Licenses (Perpetual) – 173K Professional services (40 hours) – 9K

AEP committed to 50% rebate on total capital costs Prescriptive incentive Funds provided once report showing software is

installed Forecasted 20% annual software maintenance KEMA (low) savings estimate - $20 device/year Looking at 6 month ROI (with rebate)

Timeline to the baseline… (few challenges)

This will be easy… Incentive deadline – Get it installed!

Started collecting energy use stats Holding pattern… 12 months!

Implement new EMR (largest IT project) Upgrade of backend management solution

Re-install into new backend solution Baseline collected for sample usage areas

Clinical Administrative

The (Not So) GREEN Endpoint

Baseline to predictive models

Is it worth keeping this thing? Maintenance costs kick in

Are we going to really save enough to cover what we are paying for this solution?

Deployment What policies have been put in place? What is holding us back? What can we do NOW?

Solution – Run a predictive model and see if it is worth proceeding

Predictive Model Results

Proof of Concept

Training rooms Implemented a 20 minute stand-by for the monitor Machine went to stand-by after 1 hour of inactivity

Pilot

Clinical workstations Implemented a 20 minute stand-by for the monitor

Select Remote sites Implemented a 20 minute stand-by for the monitor Machine went to stand-by after 1 hour of inactivity Only effective 5PM-7AM

Next steps

Complete roll-out to remaining 20+ remote sites Communication with manager for each location Success = “You did something?”

Targeted roll-out to non-clinical machines in the hospital Follow similar policy structure Ensure remote access is available

Review clinical workstation future Evaluate power management vs. virtualization Thin-Client

Lessons Learned

Something is better than nothing Start conservative and tweak from there Grab a baseline quickly and get it running

Endpoint green initiatives should be part of a larger IT or organizational objective whenever possible

Standby is not the end of the world Integrated vs. standalone solution Rebates are not that hard to get It is the right thing to do
