The data center energy dilemma
Energy consumption rising exponentially
• Data center energy use in 2006 was more than double that in 2000. • From 2005 to 2010, energy needs for data centers increased by another 56%.
Infrastructure costs a huge burden
• Power and cooling in data centers can account for 50% of energy consumption
Carbon footprint an increasing concern
• Environmental concerns are causing consumption-reduction pressure
Increasingly dense environments squeezing capacity
• Traditional power and cooling philosophies less effective in ultra-dense environments • Data center operators have less capacity than demand 41 Global Marketing

Why is Embedded Mgmt Compelling?
•
No OS dependencies
– Always available, consistent management for Solaris, Unix and Linux variants like Ubuntu, etc in addition to RHEL, Suse, Windows •
Supports key industry trends
– Optimum mgmt method for Virtualization and Cloud Computing trends (what value is an H/W mgmt agent in a VM?).
– ESXi doesn’t support management agents since there is no service console as with classic ESX •
No agents to install
– Simpler provisioning, no application performance degradation (great for financial and HPC customers) – Ideal for Data Hosting or Cloud service providers who can’t touch the customer’s OS/application sandbox 56 Global Marketing
