3. Why the need
More than 5 billion
people are calling,
texting, tweeting and
browsing on mobile
phones worldwide.
2.7 Zetabytes of data
exist in the digital
universe today
Almost every way we
make electricity
today, except for the
emerging renewables
and nuclear, puts out
CO2. And so, what we're
going to have to do at a
global scale, is create a
new system. And so, we
need energy miracles.

9. Ipmitool
• The Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) is a
standardized computer system interface used by system
administrators for out-of-band management of computer
systems and monitoring of their operation.
• IPMI provides monitoring, management
voltage, temperature, fans, power supplies, hardware inventory
information and etc.
• IPMItool provides a simple command-line interface to IPMIenabled devices

13. Deduplication
• Data deduplication is a method of reducing storage needs by
eliminating redundant data.
• Single instance storage
• Only one unique instance of the data is actually retained on
storage media
• Global data deduplication
• Inline duplication
• Post-processing duplication

17. Virtualization
• Enables multiple heterogeneous operating systems to run
simultaneously on the same physical hardware .
• This is advantageous because running a single operating system
on a modern high-powered server will almost certainly result in
that server being severely underutilized.
• In fact, in many businesses, servers are operating at anywhere
between 5 and 25 percent of their total load capacity, thus
wasting a substantial amount of processing power.

19. Storage Tiering
• Assignment of different categories of data to different types of
storage media
• Deriving value from multiple tiers of storage is to place each file
on the appropriate type of storage device based on a number of
criteria according to the business needs .
• Categories may be based on levels of protection
needed, performance requirements, frequency of use, and
other considerations

21. Cloud Computing
• Cloud computing is a general term for anything that involves
delivering hosted services over the Internet
• These services are broadly divided into three categories:
Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS)
and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)
• Cloud computing is a type of computing that relies on sharing
computing resources rather than having local servers or
personal devices to handle applications.

22. Data Archival
• Data archiving is the process of moving data that is no longer
actively used to a separate data storage device for long-term
retention.
• Consists of older data that is still important and necessary for
future reference, as well as data that must be retained for
regulatory compliance
• Data archives are often confused with data backups .
• Backup’s are copies of data whereas archives protect older
information that is not needed for everyday operations
