•  Research shows that typical Data Centers uJlize only 30% of its capacity. •  Try, but forecasJng rules do not apply to Internet OperaJons •  Over 90% of capital is typically spent in year 1 using legacy design approaches

•  Data centers account for 1.5 percent of total U.S. electricity consumpJon ~$4.5 billion/Yr

•  Improving US data center energy efficiency by just 10% would save more than 6 billion KW‐hours each year, enough to power more than 350,000 homes and save more than $450 million annually.

(CDW‐G) 2010 Energy Efficient IT Report IT is slowly gelng it, but do they really know what Cloud CompuJng means

Despite ongoing efforts and evidence of success… •  IT managers ciJng energy efficiency as "very important" when

considering new equipment purchases •  63% of organizaJons ciJng virtualizaJon as a strategy

•  14% Cloud CompuJng, 13% ReJre old servers •  ~79 % of public and private sectors consolidaJng data centers

Barriers sJll exist to more effecJve energy reducJon programs •  Lack of ajenJon paid to IT energy use; •  Lack of knowledge of how to improve energy efficiency; •  ReducJons in energy expenses resulJng in cuts to IT budgets •  Inability to isolate and measure IT energy use.

Data Center Trends and Thinking Industry Paradigm ShiH ResulJng in InfighJng

–  IN •  Infrastructure as a Service (some call it the cloud) •  The need to hug MY servers (IT and Infrastructure Teams)

•  The need NOT to hug OUR servers (CIO/CTO’s) •  “Modularity” •  Saving green via the Environment ‐ (Green IT) •  Micro‐Sites (Secure, Flexible, Expandable, and Local “hugs”)

–  Cloud value proposiJon good, but security and compliance NOT…yet

–  Expandable low cost Cloud DC’s, varying in redundancy

–  OUT •  Big spend MEGA brick and mortar sites •  Chilled water, Treatment Ponds (PolluJng Chemicals and Cost)


Why Should the Industry Go “Modular”

FACTS •  Modular Solu<ons vs. Average US Hos<ng Costs

•  When power cost is the same, Costs are roughly the same

•  @800 square FT, ~$30K per/Month, $25‐$30 per Square FT

•  New builds vastly cheaper •  ~$17M per MW Legacy vs. < $6M per MW Modular

•  Ability to build for need and expand with need

•  Ability to Reduce Stranded Power (Stranded Power = Money Waste)

•  Highly more efficient means lower long term costs •  PUE of ~2 vs. < 1.1

•  BeQer for the Environment •  Decrease concrete usage, eliminate chemical waste


1.  Modular Data Centers are more Risk than Brick/Mortar

2.  Modular Data Centers are a threat to Infrastructure Jobs

3.  Modular Data Centers are Higher Maintenance

4.  Modular Data Centers mean OperaJons ‘Rain Coats’

Modular Data Center MYTHs


SGI Modular Data Centers

  SGI will custom build a modular DC to meet your needs. Compe1tors have solu1ons that customers must fit within.

  Basis of design for MicrosoH Modular Data Centers

  Simple Manufacturing via 100% Solar Power ‐ Green & Recyclable

  Global TesJng Successful on Full Outside Air Cooling   Server inlet remained within 50‐95F, 20‐80% RH during all tests

  Dubai ‐ 105F DB/55%RH   Singapore ‐ 100F DB/82%RH   Mixed Air ‐ 58F DB/55%RH

  PUE as low as 1.05 maintained during all tests   NO mechanical means of cooling (DX or Chiller Water)

1.  Push Server Manufacturers to expand warranty Temp and Humidity boundaries 1.  If all else fails, shame them. ‘The Green 500’

2.  Alterna<ve TCO should NOT be an Alterna<ve •  Promote hardware power Efficiency in CIO/CTO purchasing metrics

3.  Promote programs that give funding or offer discounts for efficiency retrofits

4.  Make readily available Simple Metrics and “Short” White papers •  Don’t just focus on efficiency, remember the green everyone cares about •  Owners can compare technology efficiency vs.

5.  Go Modular for some or all IT Needs Now

•  Educate IT owners about Risk and (not VS.) Rewards Green2 •  Promote industry modularity beyond the container •  Right Size Datacenter builds from the Start •  Reduce or Eliminate Stranded Power in the design phase •  Eliminate Chilled Water Systems and Eventually the use of Water Completely
