“Whereas in 1996, when IT departments spent 17 cents of every dollar powering and cooling a new server, IT departments 10 years later were shelling out 48 cents per dollar, according to a September 2006 IDC report. IDC also predicts that number will grow to 70 cents per dollar by 2010.”

Solutions Overview

GANTECH’s EVERGreenIT lifecycle approach toward reducing energy requirements is derived through fully empowering physical resources to enable the entire virtual infrastructure including storage, I/O, server, and desktop and network virtualization. The impact, in conjunction with consolidation, offers the opportunity for organizations to dramatically reduce costs and CO2 emissions to create a greener future for all of us.

Solution Portfolio

• Enabled Virtualization: Significant reduction in the number of physical servers required (10:1 is common), as well as associated savings in power, cooling, floor space, and administrative overhead.
• Empowered Resource: Improves server utilization rates 60% to 80% (up from typical rates of <10%).

• Enabled Virtualization: Enables a logical presentation of data not constrained by physical storage infrastructure, while reducing physical disk up to 50% and reducing power and cooling costs.
• Empowered Resource: More effective application provisioning, business continuity, and resource consolidation.

• Enabled Virtualization: Traditional PCs are replaced with virtual machines that can be managed from a secure data center avoiding the potential loss or theft of data and applications inherent with standalone PCs.
• Empowered Resource: Thin clients use up to 90% less power than traditional PCs and Virtual desktops can be accessed and managed remotely.

• Enabled Virtualization: Networking virtual machines in the same way as physical machines avoids need for dedicated networking equipment.
• Empowered Resource: Resource provisioning is simplified and does not require dedicated equipment.
