Power Saving bogus?
Some fuzzy swag kinda math (based on Sun's marketing numbers), but even at 75 users per server, the numbers are pretty compelling:
So here are some 'very general' numbers, omitting the Monitors as they are a wash. PC = 80 Watts (avg)
T1000 Sun Ray Server = 220 Watts / 75 users = 2.9 Watts per user
x4100 X64 Windows Server = 550 Watts / 75 users = 7.33 Watts per user
Sun Ray 2 = 6 Watts per user
=================
TTL - 16.2 Watts per user
*Savings* = 63.8 Watts per user. Multiply by 1,000 users and you start to get enough power savings to fuel Al Gore!
Biting the hand that feeds IT
