DESCRIPTION
Sustainable Lifecycle Innovation Management (SLIM) is a simple but effective aprroach to making efficiency central to IT operations and in moving IT from being a cost centre to an centre for Innovation and lean efficiency

Software challenges

Reduce the 3-5% of energy consumed by software driven devices
Use software to address the larger challenge
Green Computing?
Wikipedia
• The study and practice of using computing resources efficiently.
• primary objective is to account for the triple bottom line – People, planet, profit
• The goals are to– reduce the use of hazardous materials– maximize energy efficiency during a product's lifetime– promote recyclability of defunct products and waste.

SO WHAT?Sustainable Lifecycle and Innovation Management
1. The Environment
Energy Demands & Population Growth
Pollution & Emissions
Climate Change Resource
Destruction
Freeform & the Register survey Feb 2008
53% of respondents stated that public relations and the organisation's image were very likely to
motivate action on environmental issues
2. The Customer
Wisdom of the Crowds ...

*Wikinomics
3. The Government
• Cares what its customers say ...– Climate Change Act– Carbon Reduction Commitment– EU Code of Conduct for DCs
The Climate Change Act 2008
• Introduced 11/07 & law 28/11/08• First country to put emission targets into law
– 26% reduction by 2020– 80% reduction by 2050 – Legally-binding 5-year budgets for greenhouse gas
reduction• All primary greenhouse gases are included• Carbon Reduction Commitment
http://www.defra.gov.uk/environment/climatechange/uk/legislation
The Carbon Reduction Commitment
• Mandatory cap and trade scheme for 04/10 – Affect approx 5K organisations with
Energy consumption of over 6,000MWh. – Monitor and report their energy usage. – Appear on a published league table– Carbon Allowances around £12/tCO2e.
• An organisation consuming around 8,000MWh could pay as much as £100,000 per year.
http://www.defra.gov.uk/environment/climatechange/uk/legislation
EU Code of Conduct for Data centres
• CoC is a voluntary initiative– Based on US EnergyStar Data Center
Infrastructure Ratings.– Develop and promote best practice for DCs– monthly monitoring of energy usage
• Widely seen as “regulation through the back door”– “I view this [CoC] as a wider move towards mandatory
energy reporting for data centre owners and providers.” - Alec Selvon-Bruce of Hitachi
http://re.jrc.ec.europa.eu/energyefficiency/html/standby_initiative_data centers.htm
“Western European electricity consumption [in DCs] for 2007 can be estimated at 56 TWh per year and is
projected to increase to 104 TWh per year by 2020.”
• Is “energy” a purchase criteria for your IT?• It might be for your car… but IT?

Raise the temperature!
• Many DCs are run for the comfort of the operators or hotspots
• In favourable climates outside air can work well too.*

Virtualisation
Virtualisation pitfalls
• VM Sprawl– Management of VMs is key
• Storage– VMs are only part of the solution, don’t forget
storage virtualisation too• IO bottleneck
– Understand IO requirements of VM candidates– It won’t be the # VMs but amount of IO that
throttles the server
