Green Initiatives: Power

� High-density Cabling � Enables 7-27% power reduction on per port basis� Smaller cable than six 4-pair cables

� Better airflow = better cooling = less power

� Shielded Cat6A Cabling� Up to 40% smaller cable than Cat 6a U/UTP� Potential power savings on network electronics

� XG Optical Fiber Cabling� Optical ports draw less power than copper ports

� Demand for electricity is projected to grow 19% in next ten years� Generation capacity is projected to grow only 6% (Source: NA Electric Reliability Council)

� Virtualization & multi-core processors are driving dramatic increases in cabinet density� 2006: US servers consumed $14 B in power & cooling� 2009 Projection: $50 B (Source: IDC)

� 2011 Projection: $100 B � In 2008, half of the world�s data centers will not be able to utilize the

latest high-density equipment (Source: Gartner)

� Their power infrastructure simply won�t support it� 1W at the server takes ~ 2 watts at the meter

� Reason� Signal to noise (S/N) ratio of UTP cabling systems� DSP�s are required to improve the signal quality

� Shielded systems have a much better EMC performance� Better S/N ratio� Less calculation for DSP�s� Less power consumption

� Conclusion� Shielded cabling enables reduction of network power consumption


� 10GB-T PHY optimized for 100m UTP Cabling� 15-20W (in 90nm) (1000B-T: 500mW)

� Problem for High Density Line Cards, PCI Cards, MBs, Modules

� 2.5usec latency (1000B-T: 250ns)

� Too high for some High Performance Applications, FC, IB

� Power Hungry AFE

� 50% of Power is in AFE

� Not likely to improve much over time� Large percentage of the power is in the AFE

� Power reductions in smaller process geometries are questionable



� Power Dissipation� 3W Typical, 4W Worst Case

� Latency� Less than 500ns� Goal of 250ns

� Low Cost� Significant SNR Margin

(1000B-T: 10dB)� Demonstrable Design of 1M

Cable Management

� Does this look familiar?

� Unmanaged and unstructured connections

� Poor documentation

� 30-40% abandoned patch cords after 1 year of operation

� Dead ports in switches and cable runs 30-40% unused capacity

� MAC time > 1h per port

� Adds up to 150% of operational cost

� Adds up to 200% of floorspace needed

� Residual cable mass blocks airflow in rack and under floor

Intelligent Infrastructure Management System (IIMS)


Down Time Is A Cost Driver

Real-time Overview & Documentation are KeyIn many industries data network down time is business critical! Depending on the

importance of the network as a daily business tool, hourly costs can be extremely high (e.g. in banking and insurance, airports, ISP's, etc)

� �72% of all business critical systems experience9 hours of down time each year!�(The Standish Group)

� �There�s an average loss of $90,000 per hourof down time for business critical systems!�(Contingency Planning Research)

� �59% of network problems are directly relatedto the physical infrastructure and its connections!�(The Gartner Group)

� �70% of all network failures are attributableto network cabling!� (LAN Technology)

Enterprise Downtime Cost/hr

Error Recovery without IIM


IntroductionRequirements of today�s rapidly growing and changing enterprise

infrastructures are no longer fully satisfied by traditional process-based IT infrastructure management but now need intelligent, real-time management.

The main deficiencies of traditional IT Infrastructure management are:

� Maintenance of connectivity records is time consuming & expensive� Inaccurate records and long cycle times� Difficulty in managing and tracking work and change orders� Possible & likely deterioration in infrastructure flexibility, effectiveness

and response times

The AMP NETCONNECT AMPTRAC Intelligent Infrastructure Management System (IIMS) has been designed to address the limitations described above.


Many department representatives, including:� Help desk� Planning / Facilities� Network Administration / IT� Supervision / Management� Technicians

And provides real-time accountability and tracking of:� network utilization (Cable Plant and Network Electronics)� budgeted costs of MACs (planned and actual)� device access to network (Authorized and Unauthorized)� circuit connectivity and routing (graphical and textual)� network device asset information (user definable)
