Extending the life of an existing data center
• IBM’s Enterprise Computing Model– Projected results– Virtualise 25% of IBM’s server
infrastructure– 80% reduction in energy use– 85% reduction in floor space– Accelerate time-to-value for
clients based on internal IBM process automation
• IBM Lexington – Results– Increased IT capacity by 8
times in same space– Virtualised 70% of baseline
workload– Differed $50m capital
upgrade to datacenter– Avoided $2.4m HW
purchase by re-deploying servers
– Saved $162,000 or 10% annual energy savings

Energy efficiency, can virtualisation help?
• Typical Intel type server utilisation is quite low (15 - 40%)• Tools like VMWare can increase utilisation and unlock new
processing capability for scale up and scale out without adding to power at the rack level
