  1. Big 10 and Friends Energy & Mechanical Conference Desktop Power Green Initiative

  2. Introductions • Paul Clark- Manager – Endpoint Engineering • Desktop, Laptop, Mobile Device, and Data Center • Leadership and Operational Management • Nick Haulund – Architect – Endpoint Engineering • Strategic and tactical planning • Overall architecture of all endpoints • Michael Schmit – Director – Facilities Planning

  3. The Big Question… Why the Endpoint?

  4. Data Center PUE Free Cooling Containment solutions VFD Motors 99% Efficient UPS Virtualization Common Sense… It is COOL to be GREEN Green initiatives have become more popular… Endpoint • Power Management Solutions • LCD Monitors • Low Energy CPUs and Memory • Efficient Power Supplies • Mobile Devices

  5. There is GREEN to be GREEN Multiple factors make it easier to get capital funding to implement • Perception • Transition from favorable to expected • Being energy efficient is a requirement vs. a benefit • Financial Benefits • Government mandates drive incentive opportunities • Rebates available = Shorter return on investment • Political • Positive press

  6. Data Center Intelligent cooling Installation of VFD motors & top hats Hot/cold aisle containment Make GREEN part of overall IT strategic plans Being green is not just a facilities initiative… Server Engineering • Virtualization • Blade infrastructure • Cloud solutions Network • Balance power need closely for POE • More efficient power supplies • LED Lighting & motion sensors • Expanded tolerance for heat Voice • Phones go into power save mode after-hours

  7. Why the Endpoint? Because there are so many of them! • WMC = 18,000+ devices (with 1 or more monitors) • Varied usage = Most utilized during business hours • Already under management = We have control • Varying types of equipment = Efficiency variations • Impact/compliment to other green initiatives • Free money!

  8. The GREEN Endpoint…

  9. Integrated Leverage existing infrastructure Integration with maintenance Patching Software Delivery Link to business demographics (users) What type of solution to use? Integrated with management or standalone appliance Appliance • Specialized to energy management • Device agnostic • Data Center • Endpoint • Phone • Fast deployment • Agentless

  10. Funding/Proposal • OSUMC Facilities provided all capital for project • Software Licenses (Perpetual) – 173K • Professional services (40 hours) – 9K • AEP committed to 50% rebate on total capital costs • Prescriptive incentive • Funds provided once report showing software is installed • Forecasted 20% annual software maintenance • KEMA (low) savings estimate - $20 device/year • Looking at 6 month ROI (with rebate)

  11. Timeline to the baseline… (few challenges) This will be easy… • Incentive deadline – Get it installed! • Started collecting energy use stats • Holding pattern… 12 months! • Implement new EMR (largest IT project) • Upgrade of backend management solution • Re-install into new backend solution • Baseline collected for sample usage areas • Clinical • Administrative

  12. The (Not So) GREEN Endpoint

  13. Baseline to predictive models Is it worth keeping this thing? • Maintenance costs kick in • Are we going to really save enough to cover what we are paying for this solution? • Deployment • What policies have been put in place? • What is holding us back? • What can we do NOW? • Solution – Run a predictive model and see if it is worth proceeding

  14. Predictive Model Results

  15. Proof of Concept • Training rooms • Implemented a 20 minute stand-by for the monitor • Machine went to stand-by after 1 hour of inactivity

  16. Pilot • Clinical workstations • Implemented a 20 minute stand-by for the monitor • Select Remote sites • Implemented a 20 minute stand-by for the monitor • Machine went to stand-by after 1 hour of inactivity • Only effective 5PM-7AM

  17. Next steps • Complete roll-out to remaining 20+ remote sites • Communication with manager for each location • Success = “You did something?” • Targeted roll-out to non-clinical machines in the hospital • Follow similar policy structure • Ensure remote access is available • Review clinical workstation future • Evaluate power management vs. virtualization • Thin-Client

  18. Lessons Learned • Something is better than nothing • Start conservative and tweak from there • Grab a baseline quickly and get it running • Endpoint green initiatives should be part of a larger IT or organizational objective whenever possible • Standby is not the end of the world • Integrated vs. standalone solution • Rebates are not that hard to get • It is the right thing to do
