Energy usage is a top concern for datacenters
IT energy demand doubling every 9-24 months
6500 US Datacenters consume electricity = state of Utah
100 units of energy generation =3 units of work for productive IT
IT accounts for 2% of anthropogenic CO2 emissions
eWaste cannot be ignored –1 billion computers potential scrap by 2010

UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface)
Single consistent system level code stack with advanced setup and configuration
Key Features Customer Benefits
Simplified error handling No more cryptic event logs and reduction of out date errors in BIOS
Beep codes now covered completely by light path diagnostics
Easier configuration and management
Ability to configure machines completely via command scripts remotely with Advance Settings Utility
In-band and out-of-band firmware update via the Integrated Management Module
Remote configuration which lowers TCO by reducing upgrade downtime and making platforms easier to manage
Abilities beyond legacy BIOS No limits on number of adapter cards – no more 1801 resource errors (important to VMware customers)
Ability to move adapter configuration to main UEFI configuration
Ability to run in 64-bit native mode
Complete support for new and legacy operating systems– Windows 2008 supported in UEFI mode today– Other operating systems fully supported in legacy BIOS mode
UEFI replaces legacy BIOS providing a modern, well defined environment for booting an operating system and running pre-boot applications. It is fully backwards compatible with legacy BIOS and provides additional functionality, a better user interface and easier management. UEFI settings can be managed both in-band and out-of-band. With UEFI “beep codes” are eliminated and covered completely by light path diagnostics.

IMM (Integrated Management Module)
Remote control to manage, monitor, and troubleshoot from any corner of the world.
Key Features Customer Benefits
Single chip on each server Provide diagnostics, virtual presence and remote control to manage, monitor, troubleshoot and repair from any corner of the world
Manage servers remotely, in a secure environment independent of operating system state
Single administrator can configure and deploy server from bare metal to operating system boot
Support of new altimeter on x3550 M2 and x3650 M2 which can reduce power consumed by fans
Unified code base across all IMM systems
One firmware stack for IMM simplifies images
Easier for system administrators to manage large group of diverse systems
Standards based alerting IMM with IBM Systems Director provide secure alerts and status, helping to reduce unplanned outages
Standards based alerting enables upward integration into wide variety of enterprise management environments “out of the box”
The IMM is a single chip on each new generation server which combines the function of the previous BMC and RSA-II card, a video controller, remote presence and remote disk. Remote presence is a priced feature ($299US) for rack and iDataPlex servers and is enabled by simply inserting a hardware key. IMM is common hardware with a single IMM firmware across all new platforms. It requires no special IBM drivers and is configurable both in- and out-of-band. Open standards (CIM and WS-MAN) used for alerts and command enable out-of-the box integration.

ToolsCenter
Reducing complexity of choosing, finding, and learning management tools.
Key Features Customer Benefits
Bootable Media Creator Allows customers to create bootable CD/DVD/USB for updates customized to their systems
Ability to acquire firmware automatically from ibm.com.
Redesigned for reduced complexity
Common look and feel across tool set to reduce training needs
Single easy to use webpage to acquire tools
Consolidated 42 tools down to 8 tools to easily find tool required
Scriptable Interface Ability to script tools using common command line interface so customers can incorporate into existing management infrastructure
IBM ToolsCenter consolidates the needed tools for managing servers individually into an integrated suite. The tools are organized by function: deployment, updates, configuration and diagnostics. Tools are now simpler to access and use with a single easy-to-use webpage for access, a common look and feel and a common command line interface for the scripting tools. The ToolsCenter Bootable Media Creator offers significantly more functionality than past tools with the ability to add more tools to the bootable image and to automatically download the bootable environment if needed. The bootable media creator supports CD, DVD and USB key.
