Accelerating Your Success™ 2 Greening An Existing Data Center

Accelerating Your Success™ 3 Welcome to Avnet – A little background on our Data Center What is Green IT Virtualization Data Center infrastructure Greening Tour Introduction to AMT Greening An Existing Data Center

Accelerating Your Success™ 4 Avnet Data Center Summary In Sept Avnet won Computerworld's “Best Practices in Green IT” award (Multiple year project that will never end) 13,000 SQ FT Data Center Staffed 24 / 7 by highly dedicated staff with an average of 11 year tenure and applicable intellectual property House majority of all server hardware for Avnet Highest rated (safest) geographical location for business continuity Close proximity to major freeways and airports Space, plans for raised floor growth and power plant expansion

Accelerating Your Success™ 5 Avnet Data Center Summary Less than 800 Physical servers (1200+ logical servers) 2 IBM mainframes (Full Book on Z10 & Z8) with 1160 and 711 MIPS 450+ Unix servers (AIX, Solaris, HP-UX, Linux, OS400) 750+ Wintel (HP/Compaq and IBM) 760,000 batch jobs monthly 1.5B files backed up annually, up to 300 TB’s per month through Tape infrastructure

Accelerating Your Success™ 6 Avnet Data Center Summary Fire Suppression - HALON / FM200 and Pre-action water 385 TONNES of Split HVAC Two SRP power circuits from different sub-stations with 2- second ATS parallel switchgear Redundant UPS (20/30 - minute capacity) 800 KVA capacity Redundant Generators (3) with underground 6000 gallon tank (7-day supply) (1950 KW) –Fuel contracts with 2 suppliers “Greening” the Data Center cannot compromise the Data Center

Accelerating Your Success™ 8 We Are Green

Accelerating Your Success™ 9 What is Green IT –Save the Environment – Happy Earth day 4/22 –Save your budget How did we get to where we are today –A few big major systems…Client Server! (late 80’s) –Physical space was the most important –Data Centers were not even built for high density cooling –Server Consolidation…Let me save you money! (90’s) –If only we could start from scratch and build a green Data Center….That’s not an option for most so what do we do Greening An Existing Data Center

Accelerating Your Success™ 10 Virtualization Benefits – (Great for the environment and the business!) –Simplify your environment - Standards –Maximize your staff –Maximize your capacity, don’t run underutilized! –Save Cooling and Power –Save maintenance dollars –Avoid build outs – 2005 we were using 70% available power and most of floor space we have 5000 square feet of space and 61% of power after four years of growth –Maximize shared resources and allow for dynamic capacity changes

Accelerating Your Success™ 11 Virtualization - Storage Five years ago saved $6+ Million Reduce devices Reduce Vendor Management Maintain efficient staff level – 260+ TB Right size / Right Cost your storage needs Speed of Deployment Refreshing again in 2009 – Less than $2 Million in savings

Accelerating Your Success™ 12 Virtualization - Tape Benefits – (Maintenance, Power) –Centralized and shared devices –Centralized Tape catalog (CA1 & Netbackup) –2003 running 325,000+ tape mounts per month, now 150,000 –2003 vaulted 160,000 tapes per month, now 70,000 –Leverage shared robotics, tape drives and disk backup –Consolidation to high capacity tape $50,000 savings –Eliminated 75+ tape drives –Significantly reduced Iron Mountain costs –Better utilized operations staff

Accelerating Your Success™ 13 Virtualization - Servers Server Summary VMWARE for Wintel AIX & SUN for UNIX Mainframe Desktop –Over night power down - $150K annual –Swap out nonstandard and utilize certified Green liquidators –Desktop to Network printer focus (Power, supplies, capital) Reduced per server wattage in Data Center by 44% (681 watts per server to 383)

Accelerating Your Success™ 14 Virtualization - Mainframe Years ago we had multiple mainframes –Reduced to one –Majority level of tools, can run near 100% capacity 3.5 to 4 million online IMS trans per day 650,000 batch jobs per month 711 MIPS…. –MF Redundancy creates great availability –Z10 – SAP (IFL Integrated facility Linux / ZIIP z integrated information processor) Licensing breaks Linux support tools continue to grow

Accelerating Your Success™ 15 (17) IBM Power Frames (P5, P6) with (224) AIX (LPARS) installed and running Benefits from virtualization strategy: –Power and cooling cost reductions –Reduced hardware maintenance support activities (firmware updates, break/fix activities) –OEM hardware maintenance dollar savings from having reduced physical footprint –Ability to respond to new requirements quickly with virtualization –Can install LPARs quickly, respond to customer needs quickly –Able to better utilize hardware capacity, frame utilization rates are higher when virtualization is employed –3/2009 – Consolidated 30 images over 16 physical servers. Saved $280,000 and reduced power consumption by 28 KW (P4 > P6) Virtualization - AIX

Accelerating Your Success™ 16 Stats for Sun Environment: 5 zone servers, 17 zones (containers) Similar benefits to benefits identified with IBM virtualization strategy Sun has multiple virtualization strategies (Zones, LDOMs, Domains) Virtualization - AIX

Accelerating Your Success™ 17 Virtualization – Wintel About 60% Virtualized VMWARE – VMotion allows migration of a running Guest Were running 15% or less capacity still utilizing 60%-90% of their power draw (24 ESX Servers) over 450 virtual machines running today Respond to business needs in minutes, not days Estimated that we have saved over 1 million in hardware costs and $250,000 annually in energy costs Eliminated 15 physical racks in the Data Center

Accelerating Your Success™ 18 Data Center Infrastructure Benefits Right Size Power / Space / Cooling Reduce Cooling cost Reduce power cost Avoid build outs – Was 1000 sq feet now % power in Data Center is equipment, 70% by CRAC units, UPS, PDU’s etc.

Accelerating Your Success™ 19 Data Center Infrastructure CRAC units – Replaced old down flow (20% more efficient) CRAC units - Row based units Ups systems – Harsh kits 10% greater output Foam Roof – Saved $1000’s per year in utility cost Hot and cold – Increased temperature by 4 degrees, $60K annual savings Floor vents – high flow perforated tiles, 90% better flow Sub zero cubes – deployed 200 airflow dams Lighting – (T12 to T08 Ballasts) 30% reduction lighting costs Right Size Power / Space and Cooling Sub-floor clean up – Balance recovery of cables with risk, $10,000’s of savings in material and air flow Standard racks, traditional cooling method with 6-10 KW rack maximum.

Accelerating Your Success™ 20 Data Center Infrastructure Looking forward/In progress Increase temperature in the Data Center another 5 degrees Utilize outside air (airside economizers), adding isle curtains and raising the ceiling tiles Investigating solar 100 KW (ROI still at 10-years) SRP power study Take advantage of rebate programs, storage refresh is in progress now Investigate rebates from stimulus programs

Accelerating Your Success™ 21 Greening An Existing Data Center Avnet Data Center Tour Our Green approach has allowed us to Leverage capacity, avoid a $6 million build out several times and literally save thousands of dollars. It has also allowed us another opportunity, hosting services business. AMT Introduction
