  5. Electricity Crisis in Israel Facts: • Oil reaches 100$ a barrel: Electricity prices are soaring • Demand rate for electricity is rising by 4% annually • Servers use more power than ever • Israel has no power reserves Future Outcomes: • Estimated shortage of thousands of Mw by 2012 • Israeli industry will suffer great loses from power malfunctions

  6. Practical Solutions - Data Center • Assessments and Thermal Modeling • Green servers and storage devices • Advanced cooling methods • Data Center arrangements (e.g.: Hot Aisles/Cold Aisles) • Virtualization, Consolidation

  7. Practical Solutions – PC • Automatic Remote shut down • Enable power management features (“sleep mode”) • Turn off PC when not in use for long periods • Blank Screen Saver (CRT) • Thin Client\Virtual Desktop

  8. Practical Solutions–Printers & Paper • Printing management software • Output management • Duplex Printing • E-mail instead of hard-copy • Enable invoices and reports online to costumers when possible • Organizational culture: • Medium Range (Departmental) Printers only • Counting paper in terms of trees

  9. Practical Solutions - Electricity • Electricity management (Light and AC command) • Energy Efficient light bulbs:

  10. Practical Solutions - Networking Working from home Videoconferencing

  17. Green DC Round Table Summary • Key Subjects: • Old Data Centers ;space is constrained • Electricity, Cables and Cooling Problems • DC Arrangements • Water Cooling? • Thermal Assessments • Consolidation, Virtualization • DC management • Storage (Next phase?)

  18. Printing Round Table Summary • Purpose: • Finding Money Between the papers • Key Subjects: • MFP’s? • Cost-Control, Monitoring, Secure Printing • Original Toner? • Organization Education • STKI Insight: IT must know how to “sell” Printing savings to management

  19. Future Trends? • Energy Star specifications for Data Centers • Connection between power consumption and the business • Alternative energy sources • Better Asset Control • More Consolidated Printing • Environmental Responsibility programs (CDP, GRI) 19
