1.1 Background The University of Oxford has established an Environment Panel that advises the University on the environmental implications of policies and activities; and enco ra!es the proper consideration of environmental factors in the University"s decision#ma$in! processes% &mon!st other matters the Panel advises on the red ction of ener!y cons mption 'ithin the University% The University has also recently approved the ICT Strate!ic Plan% The plan states that the ne' ICT !overnance str ct re m st operate in conj nction 'ith other strate!ic plannin! processes 'ithin the University( incl din! those relatin! to environmental impact analysis and ener!y conservation% 1.2 Aims and Objectives The p rpose of this project is to provide a practical exemplar of ho' an or!anisation can implement both the policies and the technolo!ies to conserve ener!y sed by the ICT infrastr ct re 'ith the minim m of disr ption to sers and system administrators ali$e% The objectives of the project are to) *oll o t a instit tion#'ide 'a$e#on#+&, -.o+/ service 0onitor and eval ate the environmental benefits of this .o+ service and the University of Oxford"s virt alisation service 1ost t'o open conferences on the topic of ICT and the environment 2evelop and implement an effective comm nications strate!y 2evelop and provide trainin! materials Pa-e 1 of 1& &'(0)(&01*

The project 'ill implement site#'ide .a$e on +&, -.o+/4 mana!ement facilities to allo' individ al and cl sters of des$top machines to be s'itched on and off remotely% These facilities 'ill allo' the University to red ce the amo nt of ener!y cons med by des$top machines 'hen they are not in se% It 'ill also red ce the ener!y cons med by projects operatin! comp tationally intensive research beca se these projects 'ill) 5e able to ma$e more se of des$top machines 'hich 'ill red ce the n mber of dedicated machines these projects proc re( so red cin! the environmental effects associated 'ith man fact rin! and transport of these machines *ed ce the se of dedicated server machines that need to be ho sed in air conditioned machine rooms that cons me very lar!e amo nts of ener!y

The project team 'ill also monitor the University"s virt ali6ation service 7( 8( 'hich enables system administrators to consolidate their existin! servers onto centrally mana!ed machines% The project 'ill eval ate the effectiveness of this approach to ICT infrastr ct re in red cin! the environmental impact of the overall ICT provision% The service 'ill be monitored thro !h doc mentin! a n mber of case st dies% It is important to ta$e a holistic approach to develop an environmentally s stainable ICT strate!y beca se savin!s in one area can have a ne!ative effect in another% 9or example poorly desi!ned ener!y savin! meas res co ld compromise sec rity thro !h interr ptin! essential soft'are pdates% It is also important that the core strate!ic !oals of the University are not nd ly impacted( namely to cond ct research and teachin!% 1.4 Project Outputs T'o open and free conferences on the topic of red cin! the environmental impact of ICTs Open so rce code and s pportin! doc mentation to provide instit tion#'ide .o+ services 2etailed comm nications strate!y doc ment 0onitorin! plan and eval ation reports detailin! the environmental performance of the .o+ and virt alisation service Teacher and learner reso rces for ta !ht sessions that s pport system administrators and operations mana!ers in nderstandin! ho' ICT can be provided in a more s stainable manner
