• Strong links with research : – partner Dr Jean Marc Menaud is an international specialist on virtualization
and green IT
Our mission is to find solutions to reduce IT Consumption
• 4 software solutions (from servers to switchs) : – Track DC (measure physical servers)
– Optimize DC (dynamic capacity management)
– DC Scope (virtualization management)
– SW Scope (Switch power management)
Our Green IT experience
• We already mesured and analysed the IT of more than 50 organizations
Our observation
• Green IT is not at all a priority for companies, and more for IT services :
– Not a goal
• The CIO Priority is « only » to Maintain the quality of service (and security):
– They have plenty of new projects and no time for non-priority actions
Our vision
• Green IT solutions must : – Be compatible with CIO challenges
– Integrated in their constraints : • Security / no risk
• Time
• And budget
• Concerning the budget, the reduction of electricity bill is often not enough to motivate the CIO. – It’s not a lot
– They don’t pay the bill
Security
• New solutions must :
– not be risky :
• And moreover not appear risky
– if possible, brings more security :
• New vision,
Time
• New solutions must :
– Not take time :
• To implement
• To use
– be provided in the IT plan
– if possible, will save time
Budget
• New solutions must :
– Provide a return on investment :
• Electricity bill
• Investment, maintenance,…
An other observation
• Server virtualisation « explosed »
An other observation
• Virtualization is not “well managed” • Virtual machine (VM) are often
• Lazy • Idle • Ghost • Oversized…
• We don’t use all the “potency” of virtualization
• It results wrong vision of real capacity
• Overcost, • Purchase of new physical servers…
