Pilot results • Number of servers, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 SP2, • Reporting period january 2012 till april 2012

• The tested server had no workload as we could see, the average software usage

was only 35 watt caused mainly by OS, virus scanner, etc. • This server is idle and can be consolidaded • In idle, the hardware uses the bulk of the usage 210 watt • In full utalisation, the software uses the bulk of the usage 370 watt

17

Pilot lessons learned • Logging mechanism (eventlog) • Installation (Framework issues/ system administrator issues) • Push or pull for logging agent.

• User account management (use Windows services /Linus deamon instead of normal

winforms) • Test servers must have something to do! • One application can run multiple processes • Datacenter managers are more interested in consolidation than saving energy
