OPTIMIZED HARDWARE Closer Look at 80 Power
Supplies

• In every client system, some energy is lost to
  heat
• Previous-generation power supplies transferred
  only about 73 of energy to productivity

OPTIMIZED SOFTWARE

• Software Settings (timeouts for systems, hard
  drives and monitors)
• Policy-based power management can save even more
• Systems that are off or in sleep mode use less
  energy
• Advanced systems management enables remote power
  management, regardless of OS state, across large
  client install bases

OPTIMIZED HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE
How much could you save?
Compound benefits
One desktop saving roughly 75/year x 500 clients
37,500/year x 5,000 clients 375,000/year

OPTIMIZED SOFTWARE Best-practice example
The future lies with policy-based power
management

• Dell shuts down 50,000 client systems worldwide
• 12 hrs at night, MonFri
• 48 hours total over the weekend
• Measuring power consumptionby system, facility
  to facility, every 15 minutes
• Also measuring cooling system consumptions
  (powered-down systems are cooler)

• Third-party power management solution
• Works with the standard/common environment
  (Windows, SMS)
• Reporting/management functions to measure and
  analyze results/savings
• Avoids impacts to patches, security, end user
  productivity

Estimated results for Dells implementation
1.8M/year saved in energy costs 13 Million
kW/hrs saved 8,500 tons of CO2 emissions avoided
per year
