Greenhouse Gas Emissions, IT's Contribution

IT consumes 2-4%* of global energy

That's about 1,000,000,000 tons of CO2( same as the airline industry )

History: Sun’s Internal Challenge• Facilities is Sun’s second largest expense

> Real estate, utility, tax, and support costs• 20+ years of organic growth

> New products, reorgs, acquisitions> Lack of design standards and control of implementations for global technical

infrastructure> Duplication and inefficiencies

• Multi-billion dollar IT/R&D technical infrastructure portfolio> 1.4 million ft2 of Eng and IT space globally (as of 06/2005)> 1,671 individual rooms> IT space = 8% of the portfolio (160k ft2 / 15k m2 – 365 rooms)> Engineering = 92% of the portfolio (1.24M ft2 / 106k m2 – 1306 rooms)

Why DatacenterInnovation Matters

Bruce DouglasGlobal Vice President, Professional Services

January 26, 2009


Demand and Capacity are Colliding...

• Demand• Users• Services• Access

• Power• Costs• Space• Heat

...and datacenters are right in the MIDDLE!

Datacenter


Datacenter ChallengesWhat Our Customers are telling us...

Inefficiencies in the physical and IT environments due to corporate expansion, contraction, and acquisitions.

Inefficient use of power in the datacenter, and inability to accurately project future power requirements.

Wide disparity of physical datacenters, each with different management and maintenance protocols.

Limited floor space, growing power constraints and utility costs.Lack of objective information when evaluating whether to

optimize versus rebuild the datacenter.


The Opportunity

Cut EnergyCosts in
