It can be done--that is, saving 25% on your VoIP energy bill from desktop to data center. That is the conclusion of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
It can be done--that is, saving 25% on your VoIP energy bill from desktop to data center. That is the conclusion of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).Congress tasked the EPA with a study of government data center energy consumption. The report is titled, "EPA Report to Congress on Server and Data Center Energy Efficiency". The report concluded that 10% of the data center and server energy usage in the US can be attributed to the federal government. The report does not include the closets or the desktop energy consumption. The report essentially says that up to 25% of the energy cost could be mitigated with products already on the market.
The problem of energy consumption has focused on the data center. My VoiceCon presentation "Saving Money With Green VoIP," to be presented on Thursday March 20, 2008 in Orlando at 11:45 AM covers much more than the data center.
Here are some of the key questions I will be addressing during that presentation:
What new energy requirements does VoIP place on the enterprise, and how could this increase your overall costs?
What are the potential hidden powering costs in a VoIP implementation, and how do you find and reduce these costs?
What are the levels of power consumption for various types of VoIP gear?
Should you specify any elements of your VoIP implementation based on their power consumption?
What are some ways of saving on power once a VoIP deployment is up and running?
I will be covering the servers, storage, routers, LAN switches, PoE, IP phones and UPS, all with an eye to reducing the energy bill. Take a look at these statistics on data center energy consumption:
Offices consume 16.4kw hours per square foot per year.
Data center consumes 575kw hours per foot per year (35 times greater than office).
50% of the power is consumed by IT equipment.
43% of the power is for cooling that IT equipment (.86 watts of cooling for every watt of IT equipment).
7% for lighting, staff.......
Did you know that the features of an IP phone, speed, display and codec can significantly increase the power consumption? Did you know that when you install UPS, there are ways to reduce the power consumption and improve UPS reliability by as much as 40%? There are LAN switch vendors that have implemented significant power reduction, as much as 50%, and can manage the power consumption of PoE devices for a savings of 60%? These and more available solutions will be discussed during the presentation.
Since you have read this far, I will share some of the recommendations that will be presented at VoiceCon:
1. Turn off idle equipment. 2. Virtualize servers. 3. Consolidate servers, storage and data centers. 4. Turn on the power management features in the equipment. 5. Install IT equipment with high efficiency power supplies. 6. Use high efficiency UPS. 7. Adopt power distribution at 208v/230v. 8. Adopt best practices for data center and closet cooling. 9. Conduct energy audits of the data center and closets. 10. Prioritize actions to reduce energy consumption.
These recommendations can be found in "Top 10 Ways to Save Energy in Your Data Center" by the Eaton Corporation.
I am sure you will be interested in the solutions and recommendations that will be presented; others have been already been surprised at the value of this presentation for your bottom line. I look forward to your attendance at the presentation and the questions you may ask.
