Indiana reduces carbon footprint and saves millions for taxpayers with end-to-end Intel® technologies
Indiana’s Office of Technology (IOT) was established in 2005 and got off to a great start. Centralizing and consolidating the state’s IT infrastructure onto Intel® Xeon® processor–based servers, it achieved annual savings of U.S. dollar (USD) 13.9 million and provided a greener, more robust foundation for state services. Now, IOT is virtualizing its environment with the Intel® Xeon® processor 7400 series and using the Intel® Core™2 processor with Intel® vPro™ technology to improve PC management. This time, IOT not only generates massive cost and energy savings, but is helping Indiana meet the challenges of a tough economy.
Challenges
•Build on success. IOT is committed to adopting new solutions that can make its standards-based infrastructure even more agile, available, and economical.
•Improve client management. With 25,000 PCs across the state, inefficient remote management required frequent deskside visits that kept costs high and meant hours on the road.
Solutions
•Server virtualization. IOT is implementing its virtualization strategy on Intel-based servers, including high-end Dell PowerEdge* R900 servers with the Intel® Xeon® processor 7400 series.
•Client management. New Dell OptiPlex* PCs powered by the Intel Core™2 processor
with vPro™ technology provide hardware-assisted remote management.
Impact
•Server-related cost savings of US D 4.148 million over three years. Analysis shows that an 89 percent consolidation ratio plus energy-efficient Intel server technologies can help the state save over USD 4 million on total cost of ownership (TCO).
•856,286 fewer pounds of CO2. Using the capabilities of Intel vPro technology to reduce deskside visits, IOT can avoid trips that would produce 856,286 pounds of CO2 emissions over four years.
•US D 1.475 million in power savings. IOT projects savings of USD 1,474,675 in power costs over four years from using Intel vPro technology to turn PCs off remotely when they’re not in use.
