Energy Efficiency Agenda

The Need

The Benefits

Actions– Reduce IT and energy costs– Reduce travel costs– Recycle old hardware and software assets

Solutions from IBM

Getting Started



Energy efficiency actions present an opportunity to reduce costs and improve productivity

Energy ManagementMeasure and control energy usage.

IT EfficiencyReduce energy costs.

Implement more energy efficient servers and storage.

Increase IT utilization and efficiency.

Improve service with increased flexibility and resilience.

Understand energy consumption.

Produce reports to demonstrate energy savings over time.

Put policies in place to manage and control energy use.

Scale capacity quickly to meet business demand.

Manage server sprawl and update aging infrastructure.

Reduce costs with energy efficient design.

Server Room/Data CenterScale capacity and reduce costs.



The need for an energy efficient infrastructure is clear:

The economic benefits are real:

Reduce costs and improve efficiency.

Manage the environmental impact of physical assets.

Prepare for compliance.

Double IT capacity in the same energy footprint.

Reduce operational and energy costs up to 50%.

Defer capital investments

Impact more than 50% of energy expense.

Leverage tax, utility incentives.

Measure & verify performance.

Cost effectively manage the explosion of information and maintain compliance readiness.

35% 8 in 10 40%IT energy expense is expected to increase 35% in the next five years.

More than 80% of CEOs expect climate change regulation 5 years..

Buildings account for 40% of worldwide energy consumption



Why should you “green” your IT infrastructure?

Reducing your IT footprint reduces your overall IT costs (less maintenance, management, energy and cooling).

Recycle end-of-life equipment.

Support collaboration technologies to reduce travel costs and environmental impact

Can you afford to wait?

Green IT delivers profound results: Up to 40% reduction in power and cooling Up to 80% reduction in floor space Up to 4x utilization rate increase Avoid new construction



Questions to ask yourself

Do you have a plan to address your increasing energy costs or usage?

How do you assess energy usage and measure the efficiency of your server room?

Do you envision server sprawl to accommodate new applications?

Is your server room power and cooling infrastructure more than 5 years old?

Can you describe your energy management plan?

Can you keep systems critical to your business up and running during a power drain or surge?

How do you dispose of your old IT assets?

Can you reduce your travel expenses by supporting collaboration technologies?

IBM Financing Advantage: Affordable, Simple, Accessible, Complete

Access to funding is a major impediment to realizing a solution’s post-implementation benefits.

Costs are heaviest at the front end of a project, while benefits do not fully accrue until a project is well underway.

This makes financial justification difficult.With IBM Financing Advantage, you can overcome this

challenge.

Financing allows costs and benefits to track more closely. IBM Financing Advantage can help to reduce up-front costs

and structure your monthly payments to anticipated benefits.

This can help ease the decision to invest in solutions that have longer payback periods.

Clients are feeling pressure to do more with less and get more value from their infrastructure investments. A smarter funding strategy can help you meet budget and cash flow objectives in a capital-constrained environment.

IBM Global Asset Recovery Services Facts

In 2009: GARS remanufacturing operations processed

over 1 million machines with a weight of over 27.8 million pounds.

This equated to over 19.4 thousand machines (or 536,180 pounds) per week.

90.33% of the returned machines were from end of lease, and 9.77% were ARS-related.

90.2% of the units processed were readied for resale and reuse, while the other 9.8% were sent for scrapping.

From 2003 through year end 2009: GARS remanufacturing operations have

processed over 7.4 million returned machines (units), an average of 20,488 machines per week.

The weight of returned machines is now over 109.5 thousand metric tons (or over 241 million pounds).

Since 2004, GARS remanufacturing centers have processed over 1.5 million laptops. If these laptops were stacked on top of each other, the pile would extend over 31 miles into the atmosphere (a trans-oceanic jetliner flies approximately 7 miles high by comparison).

GFP03020-USEN-00



Hardware Financing

Increases buying power; reduces up-front costs into predictable monthly payments.

Lowers acquisition costs over purchase, eliminates obsolescence risk and drives lower total cost of ownership.

Helps establish a flexible technology refresh cycle, ensuring that capacity needs are met while controlling costs.

At mid-lease, the refinancing of the remaining obligation over a new term can lower the payment and create budget room for a new payment for the upgrade.

For clients starting or enhancing their green strategy, leasing ensures that they can obtain the latest IBM advances in power, cooling and space at an affordable cost.

IBM assumes responsibility for environmentally compliant asset disposal at end of lease.

Leasing upgrades leverage your initial IBM investment, eliminate obsolescence risk and drive lower total cost of ownership

Financing can help establish a flexible technology refresh cycle, ensuring that capacity needs are met while controlling costs

At mid-lease, the refinancing of the remaining obligation over a new term can lower the payment and create budget room for a new payment for the upgrade

For clients starting or enhancing their green strategy, leasing upgrades ensure that they obtain the latest IBM advances in power, cooling and space advances at an affordable cost, and IBM assumes responsibility for environmentally compliant asset disposal at end of lease
