the same time cut the company’s annual electricity
costs of €20,000 for IT in half. “The investment in
Green IT will quite clearly pay off for us. Within three
years, thanks to the HP server blade and Microsoft
visualisation technologies, we will already have
reached the project’s Return on Investment (ROI),
primarily through savings in electricity and
air-conditioning costs. That convinced our
management,” Klemmer explains.

Implementation consisted of one HP Blade System
c3000 Enclosure with eight drawers of which, at
the end of the project, four are equipped with HP
BL460c G6 servers. The remainder are free for
additional projects like the ERP conversion. Because
of the G6 server series, Klemmer even pushed back
the data centre consolidation by a few months
because the newest generation of these servers,
thanks to the current-optimised CPUs, save another
30 per cent of energy compared to the G5 models.
That reduces their electricity consumption and the
need for air-conditioning.

Virtualisation is to be expanded
The four HP server blades are running a Microsoft
Windows Essential Business Server (EBS) 2008,
a Microsoft Exchange Server and two Microsoft
Hyper-V nodes respectively. The latter took on
virtualisation tasks in order to relieve the Linux-based
fax servers that were being replaced. They took
over as virtual engines in the Exchange environment
and were integrated with the fax software. The
attachment of the Exchange servers to the telephone
system was realised through software in a virtual
environment. In the future, additional systems will be
designed for virtualisation. The new ERP software
is one such system, as are the thin clients that are
set to relieve various fat clients soon. “Through
virtualisation, we are lowering the installation and
maintenance costs. Furthermore, it brings us more
flexibility,” says Klemmer. If a server or a PC is
defective, its function can be taken over immediately
by another. As a result, interruptions to business
processes are much less likely to occur in the future.

The decision in favour of Microsoft’s virtualisation
solution was made primarily for management
reasons. According to Klemmer, Microsoft System
Centre Essential, a component of the Microsoft
Windows EBS 2008, makes it possible for not
only all software components to be monitored
continuously from a single console but also the
hardware components of the new infrastructure. Not
only that, the HP Insight Control Suite delivers its data
to the same console.
