Virtualization, Green IT, and the future of IT
James O’NeillIT pro Evangelist, Microsoft UK

The ChallengesCosts ... The growing Green agendaCoping with changeGetting the best peopleKeeping the IT department relevant
What is Work?
It depends who you ask !
Born Characterised by:Veterans 1922-1945 Company loyaltyBaby boomers 1946-1964 Financial successGen X 1965-1979 Strongly independentGen Y/Millenials 1980-2000 Personalised work
Baby Boomers are ageing...
Digital Natives are taking over
Work is Something I do
Not Somewhere I go
Wherever I connect my laptop,
that’s my office(with Apologies to Paul Young)
Green thinking and “digital native”
overlap... But
Introducing “The Cool Curve”
Why do I have better IT at home
than in the office ?
O’Neill’s hypothesis. Success in a knowledge based business
depends on attracting and retaining more than your share of smart people.
Is your IT a help or a hindrance ?
The future: The Millennial generation*
Learnt to collaborate at school. Expect it at work.
Natural social networkers Expect to work flexiblyExpect the functions which serve the business to serve them
“The person who picked my Laptop doesn’t have to carry it ”
See a relationships with employers differently.
“Don’t you dare call me a resource”* For a good, if US focused, background, see http://www.generationsatwork.com/articles/millenials.htm

Server Sprawl ... The Data-centre is FULL
Full of under-utilized serversGreater wattage per unit area than everCompanies worrying about green recordCooling at capacityIn some places, electricity is maxed out
We can’t all move to Iceland
Cold. Remote. Well connected.
Energy Cost Matters
Do you know what your IT energy costs are?Gartner: about 4% – 7% of your IT budget!
Do you think energy costs will rise or decline?
Germany: +36,6% prize increase in last 6 yearsCosts may double over the next 5 years?
“For every $ spent on server hardware,
add the same amount for power and cooling during its
lifetime!”
Average hardware price vs. energy costs over 3 yearsGartner: Why “Going Green” will become essential for data centers 10/2006
Consolidate
You know it’s mainstream when...
Don't Stop At Your Servers!
Vendor information, averaged over several models
Do your PCs run 24 by 7? If so, why?
Device Off (W) Sleep (W) Idle (w) Use (w)
Business PC 2-3 (8) 3-4 (8) 45-60 80-120
Regular PC 2.5-5 3-4 (8) 50-60 300
Laptops <1 <1 15-30 20-50
High end graphic cards 50-80 200-240

Hyper-V® Server
Virtualization helps (1)
Virtualization helps (2)Virtualized servers and Dynamic IT
Instead of order ... Wait ... Deliver .... Rack .... Configure ... Install Click or script to provision
Client oriented VirtualizationSpeeds application deployment Facilitates virtual working
Summary
Virtualization is not a silver bullet…But it is a bullet (more than one bullet)
“Green IT” is more than Virtualizing servers
But that is a start Virtualization tools help IT to be more dynamic = more of an asset
