The 'Powerful' Capacity Planner UK CMG 2008, Session 3D3 - (PPT)

摘要

The large amount of electrical power being spent on IT has reached the point where it has attracted both government and environmental attention. The projection for additional IT applications will only exacerbate the situation if current technology trends continue unchanged. ITIL Capacity Management has been extended to cover facilities resources, services, and business capacity management. Industry organizations are establishing efficiency metrics at the server and data center level to integrate facilities and IT resources. The EPA is establishing efficiency metrics at the server level as an extension to its Energy Star workstation work station metrics. Virtualization is the most promising technology to address both the issues of IT resource utilization and facilities space, power, and cooling utilization. IT Equipment manufacturers are addressing the situation at the server end through integrated IT/facilities modular solutions. The capacity planner is uniquely positioned to leverage their processes, procedures, and products to address the growing power requirements.
