IPM+ was deployed at a leading healthcare provider having 1,000+ PCs across its several facilities
Organisations from any industry sector can benefit from the ground breaking technology of IPM+.
- IPM+ Enterprise Edition was deployed to enable energy savings in the personal computing environment
- Deployment environment
- 100 Windows PCs distributed across 3 physical locations
- IPM+ Console installed on a PC (acting as Server)
- IPM+ agents were deployed on PCs using Active Directory
- Systems were grouped as per functional areas of the hospital
- Registration
- Doctors
- Wards
- IT and Administration
Energy consumption was baselined for 4 weeks and idle time patterns recorded across business functions
- Energy consumption = 3,449 kWh for 41,422 hours of system ON
- Idle time as % of system ON
- Overall across systems = 79%
- Doctors – 82%
- Wards – 79%
- IT & Admin – 76%
- Registration – 80%
- Peak Daily Energy Consumption recorded was 141.50 kWh
- Average Energy Consumption per node = 1.31 kWh
- Overall across systems = 79%
- Notice the weekly dips on Sundays when IT and Admin systems are powered off
33% energy savings was demonstrated after enabling IPM+ power savings policies
- 33% savings amounting to 1,285 kWh of electricity
- Equivalent to 583 Kgs of CO2
- Various power savings actions taken during idle times
- For example, in Registration 170.7 kWh of energy saved through:
- Monitor off – 610 hours
- Standby – 342 hours
- Hibernate – 1,850 hours
- Adaptive processor speeds as per the individual system’s utilization
- For example, in Registration 170.7 kWh of energy saved through:
IPM+ enabled advanced optimizations to reduce energy spent during system usage and idle times
WITHOUT Energy Savings
- Average Energy Consumption Per PC = 1.31 kWh/Day
- Opportunities for energy savings identified
- Idle time observed in PCs is 80%
- Less than 20% CPU utilization observed for most of the PCs
WITH IPM+ Energy Savings
- Average Energy Consumption Per PC = 0.82 kWh/Day
- Opportunities for energy savings leveraged
- Idle time was reduced by 72%
- Adaptive processor speeds enabled in line with CPU utilization
CIO got a real-time, enterprise-wide energy and sustainability dashboard
- Software Energy Meter accurately reports Energy Consumed and Saved
- Energy savings quantified in monetary terms
- Sustainability Dashboard reports
- CO2 emissions reduced on account of energy usage reduction
- Environmental impact in terms of trees planted
100 MegaWattHours of Energy Savings per annum creates a strong monetary and social impact
- Fostering a powerful CSR initiative
- 100 MWh can power 1,00,000 average Indian homes for a day
- 90 Tonnes of CO2 emissions reduced per annum
- Equivalent to planting 2,200 to 2,500 trees
- Estimated Energy Consumption in 1,000 PCs in a year
- Without energy savings = 340,353 kWh
- With energy savings = 231,372 kWh
- 50% Return on Investment for the Healthcare Provider
- Bottomline impact – the client makes a Profit by implementing IPMPlus
