Agenda

Microsoft’s Role Windows and Power Management Power Management and System CenterThe phased approach with Configuration Manager 2007 R3

Microsoft’s Environmental Mission

Technology Leadership and InnovationLeverage Technology for Positive Impact

Global Partnerships Partner for Global Impact

Environmental PracticesDrive Corporate Sustainable Practices and Environmental Stewardship

Windows Energy Efficiency Vision

The Windows OS enables the most energy-efficient computing platform, regardless of underlying hardware, attached devices or software workload

Idle Efficiency Workload Scaling Always Available Self-Diagnosing Standards-Based Management Extensible

The next generation of Power“Low Power” state redefined in Windows Vista

Improved in Windows 7Deep focus on idle efficiencyCore platform, background activity and device improvementsTools and diagnostics

Check compliance and remediate non-compliance.

Report saving in power consumption, environmental impact, and costs.

Phase 1: Monitor current state and consumption

Enable Power Management Client AgentHardware Inventory Client Agent required

Gather power consumption and carbon footprint per collectionMachine utilization trends per collection based on user activity

Peak, non-peak and zero activity timesCurrent power settings used by machines Calculate energy consumption (WATT, $ and CO2 footprint)

Power Consumption DataEnergy consumed/hour

Energy Star StandardMonitorPower consumed by standard monitor in active mode 28 73Power consumed by standard monitor in sleep mode 2 3

SystemsPower consumed by standard desktop in active mode 60 84Power consumed by standard desktop in sleep mode 4 6

Power consumed by standard laptop in active mode 16 20Power consumed by standard laptop in sleep mode 1 1

Phase 2: Plan and create power management policy

Analyze the data and define right power policy based on user activity.Examples:

User activity is heavy 8 – 11 AM , decrease 11 AM – 1 PM, and picks up again 1 – 4:30 PM91% of people zero activity by 5 PM 91% of people zero activity by 4 PM on Friday %98 of people zero activity during weekend

Look for machines that can’t support power managementExclude machines that shouldn’t be managed for powerDefine policy for each facility (organization, department)Define different policy for peak and non peak timesOut of the box power policies

Balanced, Power saver, High performance (XP, Vista, 7)Customize out of the box power policies

Configuring Power Managementdemo

Power plan name Vista, Win 7 and Server 2008 XP and Server 2003 Power saver Apply Power Saver power plan Apply Minimal power management power scheme

Balanced Apply Balance power plan Apply Home/Office Desk power scheme

High performance Apply High performance power plan Apply Always On power scheme

Power Policy Properties

Phase 3: Apply power management policy

Allow power policy to be applied at the collection levelPlaces focus on Collection architecture

Define peak and non-peak time for collectionsDefine policy exceptions When multiple policies applied choose less or most restrictiveAllow machine to wake up per collection (if under AC) during specified time to check for other ConfigMgr policy

Phase 4: Check Compliance and Report savings

Various power settings inventoryDisplay peak and nonpeak time for user activityReports are run by collectionSelect a time period and report:

Power consumption (kwh)Power cost ($) CO2 savings

CO2 footprint Pollution prevented. Acres of trees planted, number of cars removed.

Peak time The time of the day in which work hours are in effect, also reflects a time of work without interruptions and a less evasive power profile.

Non Peak time The time of the day in which work hours are not in affect. Also reflects a time of minimal work and a more evasive power profile

Noisy application An application that makes the system busy while a user is not at the machine thus making it not able to sleep

User Activity Keyboard and mouse activity generated by user.
