"FIT FOR" Green IT
Aside from the cost related matters associated with reducing power consumption and rack space there are serious Green IT matters to consider. Not just for the sake of the environment, but also for the company.
Core business is being driven by government incentives and public opinion to reduce its carbon footprint and production of hazardous waste. In turn, I.T departments are being increasingly pressured into understanding exactly what can be switched off, put into sleep mode, virtualised, consolidated or decommissioned. Additionally, asset disposal and WEEE legislation presents significant corporate risk to organisations not carefully controlling the end of life of key assets, not to mention the spin off security implications.
The challenge is often the lack of information available to make operational decisions on how best to tackle this. Just identifying the current estate can be difficult, and getting data on it even more difficult. Then finding out not only which software is installed on each server but also the dependencies that each server has. Knowing whether taking down a particular Oracle server will bring down a website or business application or whether a particular server is idle is absolutely critical. Which servers are consuming the most energy?
BDNA Insight, will give you the view you need of the present estate and the key information you need.
BDNA Catalog contains an exhaustive list of hardware products as well as the power ratings for each of the devices.
BDNA Maps delivers relevant dependency mapping of all critical IT infrastructure components, showing exactly which servers have interdependencies.
The combined functionality, coupled to the experience ITAMS have with using them, means organisations can benefit from being able to meet their Green IT imperatives – and without the risk of bringing a business I.T service to a standstill.
Recently BDNA was used to help a Government agency to reduce its Power costs alone by an estimated $44 million dollars.
