Negawatt
Negawatt power is a theoretical unit of power representing an amount of energy (measured in Watts) saved. Energy is saved by either increased efficiency or reduced energy consumption; the conserved energy is a "negawatt".
The concept of a negawatt is simply a measure of power that is not used. Negawatts are a form of encouragement to motivate consumers to conserve energy.

ICT Energy consumption Facts ICT is responsible for 5 %–
10% total electricity consumption
In administrative industries (Governments,
Banks etc.) ICT can account for up to 75% of all energy consumption
3 -5 % of total world electricity consumption is based on software driven
devices
Datacenters are one of the fastest growing consumers of energy.
Most of the IT Departments are not
responsible for electricity bill
In US Only 10-15 more power plants needed by
2011 to keep up with data center power
consumption
ICT GHG emission facts
ICT i s globally responsible for 3% of GHG emissions and it is going to grow to 6%
by 2020
One search on popular search engine can
produce 7gCO2
One e-mail message can produce 0.3 g CO2
All spam messages (183 B per day) will produce 55000 tons

Data Center (in)efficiency
Idle x86 servers consume
between 30% - 40% of
maximum (rated) power.
10% of 4.4 million servers
around the globe are unused
A majority of physical server operate at 4%
average utilization
Most servers operate at 5 -15% of their
total load
How to reduce infrastructure cost
Reduce Cost
• Analyze actual workload
• Eliminate unnecessary components
• Operate Servers at higher temperature
• Use higher efficiency power and cooling
• Chiller-less design
• Optimize for performance/watt/$
• Drive server consolidation with virtualization
• Leverage advanced power management technology
