The Greening of IT
200 How Companies Can Make a Difference for the Environment

2. Consolidation of 73 Intel servers at 20+ locations to just three
System P servers at one central location for another of the company’s
tools.
3. 200+ distributed Intel servers to just four blade centers for Citrix
farm.

Products
Use of Energy-Efficient and EPA-Approved Products World-class
energy-efficient and EPA-approved products were used in building the data
center. Some of the key products are as follows:

1. Cooling systems: Highly energy-efficient precision air conditioners
from Emerson and the environmentally friendly EPA-compliant
refrigerant R407C.
2. DG set: MTU (Germany) engines for DG set used as secondary source
of power. These engines are EPA, tier -3/ EU stage 3A certified.
3. UPS: Highly efficient UPS systems from Emerson, Italy. The efficiency ptg
ratio is more than 92.3 percent at 100 percent load.
4. Use of ENERGY STAR-compliant CFLs.

Services and Solutions
Automation The IBM team planned and implemented Tivoli tools for
automation in remote support, patch management, asset inventory, perform-
ance monitoring, network monitoring, and so on. This led to reduced man-
power and optimization of the computing requirements.
In phase-II, IBM has planned to centralize, consolidate, and integrate all
the tools under the overall umbrella of an enterprisewide command center.
The Tivoli suite of products along with various other tools are planned to be
integrated to provide a centralized management. This will result in further
reduction in manpower and optimization of the computing requirements.
Virtualization Virtualization results in effective utilization of residual
computing powers and storage disks. This directly results in DC space-
savings, energy-savings, and usage of less hardware.
IBM has planned to use IT virtualization technology for dynamic alloca-
tions of computing resources such as LPARs in the servers and virtualizing
