Can Virtualization Enhance Sustainability?

11/07/2024

Join this thought-provoking discussion on how virtualization can help organizations meet their sustainability goals by maximizing the efficient use of hardware resources, extending the lifespan of aging servers, and enabling more sustainable IT infrastructure practices. Explore the challenges of balancing legacy hardware with newer, more power-efficient systems and learn about the key technologies and strategies that can help.

Sustainability Challenges in IT: Extending the Life of Servers: As hardware ages, its performance typically declines, but replacing it too soon can drive up costs and environmental waste. One key sustainability strategy is extending the life of existing servers through more efficient utilization and failover protection. Virtualization technologies can enable aging servers to continue providing value while ensuring workloads are moved seamlessly in case of failure.
Balancing Legacy and Newer, More Power-Efficient Servers - IT leaders are increasingly looking to adopt more power-efficient hardware, such as quad-processor servers with hundreds of cores, to reduce energy consumption and operational expenses. However, integrating these new servers into existing infrastructure without causing disruption is a challenge many organizations face.
Licensing Strategies for Sustainable IT - A critical factor in sustainability is the ability to invest in fewer but more powerful servers. This requires a licensing strategy that doesn’t penalize organizations for adopting high-density, power-efficient hardware. By aligning licensing with per-server rather than per-CPU models, companies can purchase fewer, more efficient machines and still meet performance demands while reducing their environmental footprint.
Technology to Scale Down Hardware Infrastructure- Sustainability also involves reducing unnecessary hardware to minimize energy consumption and cooling requirements. Virtualization platforms with “scale-down” functionality allow organizations to consolidate workloads and retire older servers, enabling them to transition to fewer, more powerful machines without sacrificing performance.
Real-world demonstration of Sustainable Virtualization - We’ll show how organizations can extend server life, reduce hardware waste, and ready their infrastructure to meet sustainability goals through more innovative virtualization practices.
