Unisys Data Center Consolidation Globally Move Process • Up to 12 teams active • Team size up to 12 people Push/Pull on Phase 1 • Phase 1 duration 3 months then reduced • Initial seed platforms in place • Only current platforms moved (avoid museum) • Phase 2 teams up to 50 people • Standardization/consolidation undertaken if speed not impacted
Unisys Data Center Consolidation Globally Resistance • Turf • Loss of control • Accurate cost data • Layoffs, etc. • Investment • IT “It won’t work”
Unisys Data Center Consolidation Globally Results • Migration covered four years (on plan) • Cost benefit improved • Established base for: • APP centralization • APP redesign • Continuous improvement • Large reduction in hardware acquisition over old decentralized model
Unisys Data Center Consolidation Globally Keys to Success • Senior line management had project in their objectives • All business groups involved in business plan • Open fact based communications • Maximum involvement of all IT groups • Rotate IT people – “burn out” is an issue • User testing – good, they convince themselves • Overkill platforms and network during migration if necessary – A single problem will be magnified and cause undue delay and it’s easy to cut back later • Started fast and kept up the pace.
State of Pennsylvania Data Center Consolidation Scenario: Consolidate 20 Data Centers into 2 Solution: – IBM is subcontractor to Unisys – Scope of services very broad from facilities to Disaster Recovery – Could not sever any State employees • All employees made redundant were placed in other positions in the State • Re-trained or re-purposed • Used to improve State services – Implemented “Best Practices” Problem and Change Management – Implemented Service Level Agreements Benefit: – – 20 data centers into 2 47 disparate Email systems to 1 (75, 000 users); Exchange servers reduced by 50% 14 month transition $27 M annual savings
State of Texas Data Center Consolidation Scenario: – Critical clients requirements • • • State regulatory mandate for project Critical employees must be maintained for 2 nd year All work must be done in the State All affected employees must be offered positions 1 st year Followed Gartner recommendation – Consolidation / Migration Scope • 31 data centers to 2 • 7, 000 Windows servers, 1, 400 Unix servers, 16 Mainframes Solution: – Scope of services very broad from facilities to Disaster Recovery Benefit: – Project Underway - Unisys is subcontractor to IBM
Benefits from the City of Mpls Virtualization • Reduce server count 25 : 1 – Power saving 55 KW – Saving floor space • Simplification of server support • Unisys can now install new servers in days vers 2 to 3 weeks – i. e. in the recent 35 W bridge disaster in Minneapolis, Unisys was asked to install a new server to support the disaster on Friday afternoon and the new server was up and running supporting the disaster on Monday morning, in the past this would have taken 2 to 3 weeks to be installed. • Server maintenance savings $154, 000. 00 per year • Unisys can now perform maintenance on the host machine with out any client down time
Future State for City of Mpls • Of a 128 servers 76 are being virtualized to 3 ES 7000’s 8 CPU systems, running VMware ESX 3. 0 • Represents a 25: 1 reduction of physical assets • Systems will be migrated using Real-Time Consolidation Accelerator for Physical to Virtual migrations • Created a Blueprint for City of Minneapolis Server Infrastructure

Firms plan to virtualize many more servers in the next two years “Approximately what percentage of your x 86 servers are virtualized today? ” “Approximately what percentage of your x 86 servers do you believe will be virtualized two years from today? ” Did you know? On average, respondents have virtualized 24% of their servers today and plan to have 48% virtualized in two years. Base: server decision-makers at North American and European organizations with 100 or more employees that have implemented server virtualization or are implementing in the next 12 months Source: Forrester Enterprise And SMB Hardware Survey, North America And Europe, Q 3 2007
IT Optimization Consolidation / Virtualization Technologies – Currently driving reduced server footprints along with lower energy (heating/cooling/power) requirements for demonstrable cost savings, greater control and improved SLA • Typical server consolidation of 8: 1 in production • TCO improvements of 20%+ – VMware is market leader in virtualization and expanding use cases to include desktop virtualization to enhance standardization of the desktop and reduce support costs. – Look for more over time from Microsoft’s Hyper-V to catch up and take some market share from VMware. Management Tools – VMware includes a mature and robust management solution – Platespin “Power convert” can be used to simply migration of server images into Virtual images – Virtualiron now using XEN hypervisor
VM Sprawl: Manage It Before It Manages You The New Math: V = Free cost One client alluded to it as being "addictive. " The Real Math: V = cost f ( Planning, Administration, Control, Optimization, Reclamation) Source – Gartner Infrastructure and Operations Management Summit, June 2007; ‘Managing the Virtual Server Environment’; Author: Cameron Haight

What is “Green IT”? “IT suppliers and their corporate customers changing the way computing assets are designed, manufactured, operated, and disposed of to gain efficiency and cost savings while reducing environmentally harmful impacts” – Forrester 3/17/2018 Page 38
Getting Started on the Path to Green Power Efficiency • Increase server utilization – virtualization, consolidation • Cool data centers more efficiently • Manage desktop power consumption Promote Green Work Practices • Facilitate telecommuting options • Add green criteria to IT procurement practices • Source energy from greener producers • Purchase energy-efficient products Reduce E-Waste • Recycle servers, PCs and other hardware • Recycle printer cartridges, paper, batteries • Set printer defaults to two-sided printing • Promote selective printing of documents and green document retention practices 3/17/2018 Page 39
How Green Are We? Green Initiatives in PA and City of Phila. • State of PA 2008 budget allocates $650 to alternative and renewable energy – aimed at reducing dependence on foreign fuels • Certification for green trades people originated in Philadelphia and spreading across the US (Green Advantage Contractor Training and Certification) • State of PA green grant programs – $26. 4 million alternative energy incentives – $5 million under Energy Harvest program to promote awareness and build markets for cleaner or renewable energy technologies – Business Pollution Prevention Assistance – up to $100 k for projects that reduce waste, pollution or energy • PA Energy Mgmt Assistance program provides free energy audits for small businesses; private firms do the same for the rest Source: Philadelphia Business Journal 3/17/2018 Page 40
The Cost Value of “Green” IT • Energy Star-certified desktop computer systems can reduce energy consumption by up to 70%. (INPUT 6/08) • Virtualization could save the federal government between $18 billion and $29 billion over the next 10 years. (INPUT 6/08) • Switching to a more eco-friendly PC model can reduce power consumption by 20% or more. (Gartner 3/08) • Simply putting machines into a lower power state after hours reduces energy costs from more than $75 a year to approximately $18 a year. (INPUT 6/08) • A 1, 000 -person organization could save up to 1. 6 million pages per year and $33, 500 in costs by eliminating banner page printing. (Gartner 3/08) – The savings realized could be higher, because many organizations actually print more (in some cases, 30% or more) than the 1, 000 pages per employee per year used in Gartner’s model.
Server Cost Savings • Thin clients draw between 6 and 40 watts per hour of usage, compared with 150 to 350 watts for typical desktop PCs. After allowing for increased server power and cooling demand, thin clients conservatively offer 25% energy usage reductions and similar drops in corporate CO 2 emissions. (Forrester, 3/08) • Many midsize businesses have reported that they are reducing their server population by nearly 25% or more by using server virtualization technology. (Gartner 6/08) • Gartner estimates that virtualization can save a company 20% to 30% in operational costs. (Gartner analyst inquiry call, 7/08) • Operational cost reductions of 10 percent to 20 percent are possible through server consolidation. In the right circumstances, a cost reduction of from 30 percent to 40 percent can be achieved over three years. (Gartner, 2/01)
