Eco Innovation Initiative
|
Sun's Eco Innovation Initiative can deliver the true potential of your datacenter for dramatic results. At one Sun datacenter, in just 90 days, we reduced our server count from 2,177 to 1,240, but increased compute power by 456 percent and server utilization by as much as 85 percent. We consolidated 738 storage devices to 225, yet increased storage capacity by 244 percent. In total, we decommissioned more than 5,000 servers, storage, and networking devices. As a result, we cut energy costs by over 60 percent, saving roughly $860,000 in the first nine months, and were awarded nearly $1 million in rebates and awards from Silicon Valley Power.
Gain the Most from Your ResourcesGet the performance needed to meet your customers' growing demands within your current space/power footprint. About 60 percent of datacenters are out of space, power, or cooling. But Sun can help. Innovative Sun products are designed from inception to be more energy efficient, take up less space, and deliver better datacenter economics.
Agility as Your AdvantageWorried about having enough space available to add new systems, and the power to run and cool them? Sun's virtualization solutions can help you optimize space, power, and energy savings to get the headroom needed to accommodate growth. Built upon industry-proven technologies, including Solaris 10 Containers and LDoms, Sun's comprehensive virtualization portfolio—desktops, servers, disk, tape—help increase system utilization from the industry's current levels of 5-15 percent to as high as 80 percent. And Sun systems and virtualization technologies have already helped customers to cut power and heating by more than 80 percent, delivered 10x better price/performance, and lowered operating costs by 75%¹. The ROI is huge and savings can add up to millions of dollars annually. |
