Mark Preston of RS Performance will present:"Leveraging the Cloud for Green IT: Predicting the Energy, Cost and Performance of Cloud Computing".
Abstract: Cloud computing is maturing, becoming a viable alternative to classic on-premise IT. Cloud facilitates scalability, promising lower fixed and variable costs while supporting enterprise growth. The scalability benefits and cost savings can be achieved through on-demand infrastructure provisioning and reduced on-premise energy consumption. The benefits are compelling; however, a quantitative analysis is required. This paper describes and demonstrates a methodology for predicting performance, energy and cost for expanding on-premise IT into the Cloud.
"Green Capacity Planning: Theory and Practice"
Green Capacity Planning is a holistic planning approach for today’s data centers that incorporates environmental considerations into traditional computer and network capacity planning. This paper presents the methodology, terminology, and practical application of the approach with a case study that evaluates the capacity, storage, and energy footprint of an existing eCommerce system. The case study quantifies the use of virtualization to reduce energy consumption as the system is scaled to meet the demands of a growing business.
