What is “Sustainability” in the Context of IT?

Sustainable, or "green" IT is a catch-all term used to describe the manufacture, management, use and disposal of information technology in a way that minimizes damage to the environment.

The term has many different meanings, depending on whether you are a manufacturer, manager or user of technology.

Sustainability as a Competitive Imperative

Carbon Disclosure is not mandatory…yet.

Shareholders now expect companies to disclose how resilient its portfolio and strategy is.

CDP data is now fed into Bloomberg terminals

Importance of disclosing as it effects the supply chain.

Credit Rating

Agencies have cited ESG transparency as rational for changing credit ratings.

Actual Examples From Recent Customer RFP's

Do you currently have an in-house documented environmental management system which we are able to inspect upon demand?

Does VMware have a policy regarding social, environmental and ethical standards expected in their supply change?

Has the proposed software code been optimized from the design phase to reduce resource consumption? Which Green IT Code criteria did you follow?

Whitepaper

• Details “A Sustainability Life Cycle “

• Overview of a number of concrete examples that illustrate areas in which VMware has implicitly improved sustainability through technical means throughout its entire product suite and throughout the development cycle.

• The improvements are the result of establishing a resource goal first and then solving key technical challenges.

• Similar to any disruptive technology, you can’t just “turn on” a sustainability strategy overnight. It takes a determined and concerted effort of incremental technical and cultural shifts over many years.

“Sustainability as a first-class metric for developers and end-users”

Whitepaper

VMware Hands on Labs – Over 1 Million Served (12/2016)!

– Reduced footprint even though the number of labs increased by a factor of 1.5x!

– Improvement in reducing wasted worldwide real time resources on average is over 21%

Power Efficiency Testing

2014: Initial testing conducted on ESX5.5 and Ivy Bridge to determine power vs efficiency and optimal CPU saturation level.

2016: Retested on ESX6.5 with the same H/W and saw a 2-3% increase in efficiency. Impressive considering this was just a S/W upgrade from 5.5 to 6.5

– 6.5 NUMA Scheduler enhancement to take advantage of Haswell+ Intel p-State granularity

2017 Power Efficiency Testing

• 1.5X (50%) performance increase!– VMmark score: R930 = 8.01; R940 = 12.06

• 2.1X (100+%) increase in # of VMs!– R930 = 9 tiles; R940 = 19 tiles (note: each “tile” is 19 VMs, so the R930 cluster ran 171 VMs, the

R940 cluster ran 361 VMs)

• Performance/watt efficiency gain of ~9%!!

CARES: Carbon Aware Resource Energy Scheduler (current research)

25

• How many know what DPM is?Great idea! Feature since ESX 4. Hardly ever used! Why?

• SO, what’s the next lowest common denominator for maximum energy savings, minimal risk and minimal effort?

• Let’s try something “unnatural”. Unbalance a cluster, intentionally, using power consumption as a first class metric! “Theoretically” possible with Predictive DRS, vROPS, and some creative

automation!

Shift enables IT administrators to

devices managed by AirWatch

• Potential savings of $50,000/year* with 10,000 devices, assuming Peak Shift is enabled for 4 hours/day, and there is a difference of $0.1/kWh between peak and off peak rates.

Carbon Avoidance Meter (CAM) - Project Preview

• Extending on an internal “Carbon Scoring” project, we wanted to move from a average scoring to a highly accurate, real-time carbon score based upon VMware Skyline™ product usage data.

• This will provide customers with a highly accurate and reliable carbon score, based on emerging worldwide regulations

• Basically, a virtual "Green Advisor". We want you to be prepared!
