ABSTRACT:
For Earth Rangers, creating a "green" corporate headquarters was essential for supporting the environmental messages it teaches millions of children through school shows and online programs. The Earth Rangers Centre in Ontario, Canada, is a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold-certified building and one of the most energy-efficient buildings in Canada, using 79 percent less energy than similar buildings its size. The design optimizes natural sunlight and maximizes clean-air ventilation, while integrated systems recycle wastewater, provide radiant heating and cooling, and capture solar energy. The Earth Rangers Centre sets new standards for environmental construction.
The Challenge: Accommodate organizational growth and support new Web projects while creating a green data center that matches the organization's vision for an environmentally sustainable building.
The Solution:The Earth Rangers IT group created a virtualized, energy-efficient server environment by running VMware ® virtualization software on Dell™ PowerEdge™ blade servers.
Goals Achieved:
Get IT Faster: Deployed the new virtualized environment on Dell blades in just three days
Run IT Better: Accelerated new server deployment from two weeks to 15 minutes; decreased time to restore applications to five minutes; reduced time for new physical server installation from several days to 20 minutes
Grow IT Smarter: Provided capacity for 450 percent future application growth; achieved IT requirements while saving 90% on data center space and 85% on energy costs
