Monitoring Energy Usage
by Software
Frank van Bokhoven - Energy Software Solutions b.v.
Pilot monitoring energy usage by software
Goals
- Clarification of workload and functions for a number of
Fujitsu servers.
- Validate software installation process in a live data center
- Validate ESSaver’s functionality in a live environment

Pilot results
•
•
Number of servers, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 SP2,
Reporting period january 2012 till april 2012
•
The tested server had no workload as we could see, the average software usage
was only 35 watt caused mainly by OS, virus scanner, etc.
This server is idle and can be consolidaded
In idle, the hardware uses the bulk of the usage 210 watt
In full utalisation, the software uses the bulk of the usage 370 watt

Pilot lessons learned
•
•
•
Logging mechanism (eventlog)
Installation (Framework issues/ system administrator issues)
Push or pull for logging agent.
•
User account management (use Windows services /Linus deamon instead of normal
winforms)
Test servers must have something to do!
One application can run multiple processes
Datacenter managers are more interested in consolidation than saving energy
