KWE Efficient Technology UseKWE efficiency improvement efforts, initiated in 2008, to improve server utilization and reduceoverall energy consumption, through more efficient data center operation:Server Consolidation and Virtualization• KWE utilizes virtualization software from VMware to run multipleapplications on fewer, more efficient servers• Servers in operation at KWE’s Americas Data Center have been reduced by50% since January 2008• Average application server utilization has increased from 12% to 75%Eliminate redundant and under-utilized legacy applications andassociated hardware• Analysis of global application inventories revealed multiple opportunities todecommission applications and environments rendered redundant orobsolete by newer systems, but still consuming energyImplement power-management on all Data Center servers• Implemented on all Wintel and Unix servers, and configured, based onpurpose, to initiate automated stand-by/sleep cycles during defined periodsof low or no activityDesignate industry accepted measurement approach• The Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) metric, devised by The Green Gridconsortium, has been selected as KWE’s internal data center efficiencymeasurement standard, based on its broad industry adoptionMake energy efficiency and environmental impact an integral part ofplanning for KWE’s upcoming AMDC relocation in Q1–2010KWE Global Data Center ConsolidationAMDC - DallasNumber of Servers 250Racks RequiredAverage Server Utilization(% of capacity)Jan-082512%Nov-081801845%Jun-091201275%3
