Information technology (IT) accounts for….

Data source: Green IT: A New Industry Shock Wave, Gartner Symposium/ITxpo, October 2007,

–Accounts for 2% of anthropogenic CO2

–Roughly equivalent to aviation industry–IT energy usage will double next 4 years

Opportunities abound for Green IT

Data Centers consumed 180B kwh in 2007 – will double next 4 yearsSome Digital Media firms are forecasting doubling consumption annuallyOver $29B in power & cooling industry wide in 2007

– U.S. Energy Information Administration, IDC

The magnitude of the problem…

...inefficiency need to be addressed

100 units of energy production 3 units for productive IT Average resource utilization <10%=$140B excess server capacity

-U.S Dept. of Energy, IDC

1 billion computers will become potential scrap by 2010

Only 45% of US companies have eco-friendly disposal plansThe potential toxic risks of improper disposal are enormous

– IDC, National Safety Council

...e-waste can no longer be ignored.

A 20% efficiency improvement could save 36 billion kwh or 22m tons of CO2

Green IT vs. other abatement choices

…or you could remove 3,505,401 cars and light trucks from the company fleet.

…or you could plant 502,440,757 tree seedling and grow them for 10 years.

…or you could manage and preserve 16,329,325 acres of pine or fir forest per year.

..or you could recycle 6,597,707 tons of company waste instead of sending to landfills.

IBM operates 8M sq. ft of commercial data center operations — largest in the world

Projected annual savings of 5B KWH

IBM actions will result in the avoidance of 2.5M tons of CO2 per year, which equates

to 1M automobiles not driven for 1 year

Gartner ranks Green IT #1 for 2008. “In 2007 Green IT moved from a niche to widespread adoption. 2008 we see new and revised approaches to green.”

“Rising energy cost , demand for computing and data capacity is growing unabated…..IT departments are beginning to get the energy bills.” - IBM / Consultant studies, September 2007

“ Datacenters have doubled their energy use in the past five years, customers have ‘hit the wall’ in terms of power in the data center and crisis in eliminating heat .” - Koomey, February 2007

“81% of respondents think the ‘Greenness’ of their IT suppliers will become ‘much more important’ over the next few years.” –IDC Green Survey, November 2007

Situation analyst and market survey findings

IDC estimates 50 cents is spent on energy for every dollar of computer hardware. This is expected to increase by 54% to 71 cents over the next four years.

Fact Sheet: Information technology (IT) accounts for….

…of CO2 emissions

27 billion metric tons of CO2 worldwide last year

–Approx. 7 to 8 billion tons are anthropogenic CO2–6 billion tons from power generation alone

182 billion kWh used by data centers equals 132 to 160 million tons of CO2

–Depends on the carbon calculator you use ( over 12 different sources )–http://www.usctcgateway.net/tool

2% x 8 billion tons CO2 = 160 m tons from IT

What is a green data center?

Value Proposition:For Mid Market, SMB and Large Enterprise clients, with a) data center larger than 1000 sq, ft b) using technologies older than 3 years, c) who face data center overheating problems, or d) have power or cooling shortages that inhibit growth , IBM offers a comprehensive approach to helping customers create and manage energy efficient and environmentally responsible green data centers. Unlike Hewlett Packard Corporation, IBM’s approach addresses all five essential elements of a green data center—diagnose, build, virtualize, manage-measure, and cooling.

Tape is Green: Tape uses 20x less energy expense than disk. Consider the TS1120 or LTO-4 technologies

Combine Disk and Tape:You can combine disk and tape to meet application access and performance requirements, and still benefit by low energy consumption of tape. This can use 4x less energy for typical combinations.Example: DR550 and DR550 Express

Tape Virtualization:Virtualization allows disk arrays to front end tape workloads, to leverage the speed of the disk with the cost benefits of tape, eliminating the need to manage the movement of the data from the disk to tape. Example: TS7740 and TS7520 Virtualization Engine

HP is in our accounts talking about energy efficiency:

►Marketplace perceives HP “green” story to be better than IBM.

HP gearing up for major 2008 push:►New DC design practice►Acquired EYP MCF►Dynamic Smart cooling offerings for printers, server, storage in the works

HP weak on vision and substance: Has yet to deliver in 9+months Weak on mainframe heritage, lack

incumbency in data centers, blade only, focus on IT only

They have a very short history of environmental programs

HP innovation no comparison to IBM Sun borrows message from IBM

Questions for clients with financial pains

► Does client know the power consumption of their data center facility’s major components such as IT equipment, chillers, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system, power distribution units (PDUs), computer room air conditioners (CRACs), electrical switchgear, etc? Does the IT equipment consume less than 45% of the electricity?

► Is client moving to high-density computing environments that will affect energy usage and cooling capacity?

► Is client’s design capacity for peak power and cooling load significantly higher than their actual power and cooling load today?

► Does client know how much they spent on energy over the last three years in their data centers? Has the bill grown?

► Are the clients data center operating costs rising more quickly than expected?

► Is the client reassessing resiliency expectations/requirements to address operating budget challenges?

► Does the client suspect that energy usage inefficiencies exist in his data center and is he looking for help to identify and eliminate them so that the client can save costs?

► Are there incentives from utility providers or within their organization to reduce energy consumption?

Page 52: © 2008 IBM Corporation Telling and Selling IBM Green! How to guide to IBM Energy Efficiency Solutions Rich Lechner VP Marketing and Strategy Enterprise

SSM_Energy Efficiency Deep Education_internal use only52

► Does the customer have difficulty bringing new applications and services on-line because of insufficient data center power or cooling capabilities?

► Is the customer considering the deployment of high density equipment in his data center? Has the customer assessed his facility’s power supply and cooling capabilities in consideration of this technology change?

► Does the customer know if his facility currently has the capacity to support continuous operations for a high density computing environment?

► Is the client experiencing thermal issues such as hot spots, unexplained computer failures or hiccoughs in your data center?

► Are the clients air conditioners keeping the computer room at the recommended temperature?

► Is the customer planning on deploying high-density IT now or in the future in his existing computer room?

► When the client adds computer equipment, does he spend an inordinate amount of time trying to balance the heat loading caused by the new machines?

► Is the client concerned with the trends in IT and the potential impact on his facility? Does he think your facility can accommodate this technology?

Questions for clients with operational pains

Page 53: © 2008 IBM Corporation Telling and Selling IBM Green! How to guide to IBM Energy Efficiency Solutions Rich Lechner VP Marketing and Strategy Enterprise

SSM_Energy Efficiency Deep Education_internal use only53

► Do you need to address IT asset disposal regulations, balancing environmental impact with data security issues?

► Does your constituency look to you to lead when it comes to reducing your environmental impact?

► Do you have a leadership energy conservation initiative?

► Do you need to improved public image?

► Are you facing compliance issues on energy related regulations?

► Do you need help to identify potential non-compliance areas within the data center?

► Do your vendors share you environmental concerns? Are you contracting with other ‘green companies’ ?
