IDEAS’ carbon calculator, server consolidation and virtualization analysis tools help make critical ‘green IT’ decisions
For the first time, subscribers have online access to the most comprehensive database of current and historical server configurations sold by the leading server manufacturers, dating back to 1996. Users can model server performance and server consolidation options, complete with independent data and performance evaluations, and procurement intelligence such as side by side comparison of product features, global pricing and cost of ownership.
Ideas International’s (IDEAS, ASX:IDE) newly enhanced, web-based Server Consolidation Resource (Server CAR) and Competitive Profiles application suite will enable users to rapidly model multiple server consolidation scenarios with a key focus on quantifying before and after views of performance and carbon footprint.
IDEAS’ new Carbon Calculator calculates current and proposed electricity costs and savings, CO2 equivalent emissions and reductions, and carbon emissions and reductions. Carbon calculator results are provided in localised currency and units of measurement, quantifying carbon emission and carbon footprint reductions for reporting against corporate sustainability goals.
To help with virtualization decisions, IDEAS is launching its newest online Collaborative Product Evaluation (CPE) service, which rates the functional capabilities of three leading server virtualization platforms on the market: VMware Infrastructure 3, Citrix XenServer 5.0 and Microsoft Hyper-V. Engaging in the web 2.0 space by inviting input and evaluation from global users of the studied products, the hypervisor CPE incorporates real-life insight into product evaluation. CPE from IDEAS is collaborative open-source research; it is free to register for access, and users can weight the 60 points of comparison to match their requirements so that the resulting reports are relevant to their needs.
