Challenges
Intel wanted to improve the utilisation and energy-efficiency of BMW Group’s IT infrastructure, from the client right through to the data centre, without compromising security and reliability.
Solutions
It recommends: migrating hardware to the more energy-efficient Intel® Core™ microarchitecture; making default profiles for clients and servers more energy-efficient; increasing the notebook/ PC ratio; investigating benefits of virtualisation.
Implementing these measures is expected to reduce annual client energy consumption by more than 60 percent and annual server energy consumption by more than 50 percent (natural hardware growth not considered). In addition, data centre efficiency is anticipated to increase from 35 to 65 percent
