3 In an environment of constant change Energy efficiency Uncertain planning for capacity or density Regulatory requirements Metrics and reporting Increasing availability expectations Cloud computing Virtualization Infrastructure management Energy and service cost control Dynamic power variation Server consolidation Data center managers need accurate and timely information to make better decisions in real time

4 Top Data Center Challenges Availability/Downtime 75% of downtime due to human error 1 Rising Energy Costs 40% of the total data center budget 2 Poor Capacity Utilization Most data centers are running out of floor space 2 Inefficient Business Process Weeks to months per task 3 1. Rick Schuknecht, The 451 Group Uptime Institute, 2. How to Maximize the Use of Your Data Center Floor Space, Gartner, 3. How Large Enterprises Approach IT Infrastructure Consolidation, Forrester Research,

5 Common Questions asked by Data Centre Executives Where do I place my new server? Will I cause a downtime if I move this piece of equipment? What is my PUE today. What is my PUE last year? How can I lower my energy cost? How can I address hotspots in my data centre? When will my data centre run out of power and cooling capacity? What s the cost of running my data centre? What s the overall health of my data centre? Have we met our regulatory requirements? How do I maximise availability in my data centre? Does the existing power and cooling equipment have the capacity to accommodate new technologies?

12 Providing visibility and predictability Ability to forecast Enterprise Colocation

13 Values of Schneider s DCIM Solution Reducing energy cost Improving operational efficiency Providing visibility and predictability Increasing availability and uptime A study of 584 U.S based data center professionals found that 91% of data centers have experienced an unplanned data center outage in the past 24 months. The average cost per minute of unplanned downtime is $7,900. The average reported incident length was 86 minutes resulting in average cost per incident of approximately $679,500.

15 Increasing Availability and Uptime Instant Notification White Space Increase in Temperature detected in the data center

16 Values of Schneider s DCIM Solution Reducing energy cost Improving operational efficiency Providing visibility and predictability Increasing availability and uptime Base on industry studies, 15% to 30% of servers in a data center are underutilized. These comatose equipments are consuming energy without doing any computing. Extending data center lifespan

17 Extending Data Center Lifespan Reclaiming Stranded Capacity Barclay Fires 9,000 idle servers from data center. The 9000 servers removed in 2013 were consuming about 2.5 megawatts of power and by removing them, the company estimates to have reduced its annual power bills by about $5.4 million. The company estimates to have saved about $1.3 million on legacy hardware maintenance and freed up more than 20,000 network ports and 3,000 SAN ports.

18 Values of Schneider s DCIM Solution Reducing energy cost Improving operating efficiency Providing visibility and predictability Increasing availability and uptime ASHRAE established new recommended temperature ranges at the inlet of the server. However many data centers set their temperatures as low as 15 C when the recommended range is 65 F to 80 F (27 C). Data Centers can save up to 4% of energy cost for every 1 C increase in server inlet. Extending data center lifespan
