Internet Scale Computing has finally arrived
» “ If computers of the kind I have advocated become the computers of the future, then computing may someday be organized as a public utility just as the telephone system is a public utility... The computer utility could become the basis of a new and important industry. „ —John McCarthy, MIT Centennial in 1961 » “As of now, computer networks are still in their infancy, but as they grow up and become sophisticated, we will probably see the spread of ‘computer utilities’, which, like present electric and telephone utilities, will service individual homes and offices across the country. „ —Leonard Kleinrock,1969 3

But limiting factors do exist
» Time took for world to consume first trillion barrels of oil = 140, next = 30! » 2/3rd energy is consumed in cities with 50% population, soon that figure to grow to 70% » 15% of fuel is used to move a vehicle, rest of it is lost » Same problem exists in the data centers » 1.3 Billion humans on the internet, more coming soon... 4

Connecting the dots
This range of cloud services coupled with the sky rocketing data center energy consumption costs needs a smarter way of monitoring, measuring and controlling in the true cloud computing spirit
*Open discussion here possible

Our LCO* contructs– Smart Grid and Smart Metering
» Smart Grid – How is it different from Regular dumb grid? » Smart Metering – NGUM devices with real-time sensors, power outage management and power quality monitoring
*Low Cost Operatorship 12 Custom presentation- or document control name
Our vision – Applying smart metering to Clouds
» Information of energy costs as they are incurred and how to curb/manage them » Codes and standards for new applications, appliances (both hw and sw), data center superstructures and industrial processes » Enabling/consolidating technologies that control costs in real-time by unifying all measurement appliances such as circuit meters, plug meters etc 13 Custom presentation- or document control name
Our vision – Applying smart metering to Clouds – contd.
» Rebates and financing for adoption of smart enduse of applications/technologies » Smarter rate design - such as inclining block rates/dynamic pricing rates

Pricing Model – what are the challenges
» Differentiated Pricing Structures needed but energy firms must take an active role » Inflexible pricing » Single provider, flat rate - Not dynamic enough for a elastic and aspirational consumer » Proprietary and vendor lock-in – Easy to get in, hard to get out 17 Custom presentation- or document control name
Next Steps
» Initiate and build Data Centers with Smart Metering in mind » Fuel economic recovery while not hurting the environment » Release yourself from the clutches of rock-oil, gas and coal » Just start working smarter, please [You don’t want your tax dollars to go to when those legacy Data Centers will scream for stimulus by 2020] 18 Custom presentation- or document control name

Oh yeah..also reduce our footprint Datacenters are huge CO2 factories •
1 full rack of blade servers = 20-25 kW = peak demand of 30 homes
Every virtualized workload saves… •
4 tons of CO2 emissions
•
Equivalent to 1.5 cars off road
Un-utilized server capacity in the industry equates to: $140 billion, 3 year supply, more than 20 million servers (IDC) 80 million tons of CO2 per year, more than half of ALL countries in South America produce
