Everywhere we go it seems that the news is rather bleak with regard to the global economy. Most of the commentary is reporting on past events (the majority being about losses instead of gains) and very little being able to provide help or insights into the future.

Our business relationships are much like our personal relationships

For example, when things are good we always seem to have a lot of friends. It’s when times are tough that you realise who your friends really are. With this analogy I am clearly reminded and comforted of how mature and experienced our customers, partners and staff are.

All of us have experienced challenging times in the past, learnt a lot, implemented improved processes and procedures and we have come out the other side better for it. Here at Computer Merchants our sights are clearly set on the future and we have you in that picture.

Just as we want to grow our business, we want to help you grow your business

Some of you know us very well, others not as well. For those that are not across all the things we offer, I thought it pertinent to bring to your attention some of the ways we can help you and the bottom line of your business in these challenging times.

How we can help you improve your bottom line:

1. Buy your old equipment - If you have redundant equipment we would like to know what you have and hopefully we can purchase it from you. This includes servers, networking equipment and devices. It is very satisfying being able to have customers become suppliers and pay you money. Trading back your old hardware can help offset the cost of the upgrade that you need to undertake.
2. Experience - Computer Merchants turns 30 years old in 2009. Our sales team is experienced with an average tenure of over 7 years per person, something we are very proud of. They are very apt at providing fast, accurate, friendly and helpful information around your ICT budgeting and planning needs.
3. New and Used - Not only can we help you move your business forward taking advantage of the latest technologies we can also help you with your end of life systems that require that upgrade until you do your next infrastructure refresh.
4. Rental - As projects can be delayed sometimes you need to prop up existing infrastructure while you wait to implement your new systems which are either outside your budget or perhaps you have a project where it suits to do it outside the balance sheet. We can offer short to long term rental solutions.
5. Leasing - With available credit freezing up we have partners like IBM Global Finance that are ramping up the funds available to help you get your projects through.
6. Guarantee you are happy with the end result - As per our “Plain English Sale Conditions” we guarantee you are happy with the end result. What this means is we don’t expect payment until you have received the goods and confirmed that what you ordered is what you have received and that it is in good working order. Besides giving you peace of mind it also helps your cash flow.
7. Customer Service - Our customer service team is extremely experienced in getting your equipment to you and installed. Our friendly service is backed up by systems and processes to ensure important things happen, like keeping you informed, using the right packaging materials and quality assurance. We want to make sure the experience is one you will want to come back for as well as saving you time and money.
8. Technical Help - We field many questions from customers who have a technical query, many times we are able to provide the help you need from one of our engineers. If we don’t have the answer we have always been able to point you in the right direction or find the answer for you.
9. FREE CALL - 1800 777 111. We even pay for the phone call.

I wish you and your business all the success for the remainder of 2008 and onwards into 2009. If there is anything I can do to help please feel free to call me personally on 1800 777 111 or 0447 777 111.

Browse through our September newsletter to see what certain companies are doing in order to head towards a cleaner and greener future. There are also some aspects as to how individual consumers can reduce their energy levels in order to lower the impact on the environment and also the cost to them.

Certain parts of the world have started to introduce taxes that force businesses to pay if they go over a certain amount of carbon emissions. In doing this, countries are hoping that the offsets will dramatically be reduced. Currently this isn’t in place in Australia however it is wise to start reducing carbon emissions immediately so that as a nation we are heading towards a cleaner future.

This month we discuss national greenhouse and energy reporting in Australia. It outlines who needs to report and what information must be provided. It will be the first sort of information in Australia that shows greenhouse and energy performance.

However, no matter what decision the government makes about what will be done, it is crucial that all of Australia starts to make the necessary improvements so that future generations have a clean and green environment.

Energy supply, consumption, and environmental impact are now part of the IT decision process

As energy costs rise and concerns for the environment make the front page, IT managers have a new responsibility in addressing energy efficiency concerns in the IT infrastructure. Executives have always been focused on business growth. But what if your data centre can’t support expansion due to power and cooling limitations or spiraling energy costs?

Solving that problem falls to the IT manager and adding more servers is not the answer

There are numerous challenges involved such as:

• your utility may not have power available;
• your CFO may tell you that energy costs are too high or
• you may not have the necessary cooling capacity in your data centre.

A new focus on IT energy efficiency - building the “green” data centre

Data centre power and cooling requirements top the list of today’s green IT initiatives

Keeping the IT infrastructure adequately cooled and operating efficiently is paramount to a green IT strategy. Careful planning and thoughtful implementation is one way to ensure data centre success.

Another is the selection of the right hardware - so strongly consider storage and servers designed around power efficiency technologies and capabilities.

Explore the IBM solutions to this IT challenge

IBM has been leading the challenge for a green environment

In August 2007 they moved the workload from 3,900 of its own servers to 30 virtualised System z9 mainframes running Linux. They anticipated saving more than US $2 million in energy costs by reducing power consumption by 80%. Now that’s putting your money
where your mouth is!

And to demonstrate out of the box thinking, in Switzerland IBM were part of a solution that used waste heat from a large data centre to heat a local public swimming pool. Talk about a great community service - a service that is not quite so necessary in our home town of Brisbane, but for our southern friends it could be worth considering!

See the IBM Project Big Green Press Room for the lastest green data centre initiatives.

His counterpart, the right honourable leader of the opposition, Mr Nelson (and now, Mr Turnbull), has been counter punching, seeking for more detail to be established and suggesting that 2010 is too soon.

Too soon, too late, too little, too much, what is the deal with these discussions?

There are signs across the globe of the effects of rising temperatures and our elected politicians are doing what they can to be responsible stewards of our country. As always though, their actions will be aimed at where it will have the most impact - at our hip pocket!

Other parts of the globe have already been trading carbon credits for some time and it has been at some expense and when it does come to Australia there is little doubt that it will cost our industry.

The good news is that we have some time to prepare

By being proactive today we can work towards reducing our carbon footprints. By reading the many articles in this newsletter you will find out about many offerings available right now that can reduce your power usage through more effective cooling and through more efficient processing.

Reducing power usage means cost saving now, and reducing your carbon emissions means saving against ETS in the future. It’s a win-win situation!

We don’t know the full impact that global warming will have on our environment. However, we do know that by doing the right thing today we will be leaving future generations with a cleaner, greener and brighter future.

Here’s some information from one of our suppliers on its commitment to reducing the environmental impact of its products and services throughout their lifecycle.

In 1992, HP launched its “Design for Environment” (DfE) program

Its aim was to reduce its impact on the environment by addressing all stages of the HP product lifecycle. This includes:

• designing energy efficient products,
• selecting the right materials,
• reducing parts and
• enabling recyclability.

HP has established a manufacturing process that will reduce its environmental impact. A goal to reduce combined energy consumption of its operations and products to 20 percent below 2005 levels by 2010 has been set by HP.

Since 1993, HP has saved 5.25 million tons of CO2 emissions through increases in HP LaserJet Instant-On Technology energy efficiency. This is equal to a year’s emissions for approximately 1.1 million cars.

And for a feather in Computer Merchants cap, HP promotes an Asset Recovery Services program that enables customers to return their products for refurbishment and recycling. HP diverted more than 1.7 million kilograms of IT equipment from Australian landfill through its Asset Recovery Services Programme in 2006 alone.

In 1981, HP was among one of the first technology companies to begin a hardware remarketing program (and Computer Merchants has been doing it since 1979!).

There is a lot of cost involved with adding additional air conditioners and building/remodelling data centres to accommodate for this additional heat - not to mention the effects that this can have on the environment.

Now, solving your data centre thermal dilemma may be as easy as installing a rear door heat exchanger

A rear door heat exchanger may remove up to 50,000 Btu of heat coming out the back of the rack. The thin doors have no moving parts for service and swing wide to help provide unrestricted access. It is very cost effective. The coils filled with above-dew-point, chilled water may passively remove up to 60% of heat generated within the rack.

The result reflected not just another solid year of growth in this region but also signaled another very strong global performance for the company where it now has a presence in over 40 countries world-wide.

This result is also on the back of major product development that has seen the *noMAX suite of products enhance its functionality to extend greater customer control over the IBM System i environment, while at the same time making *noMAX even more intuitive and easy to use.

One aspect of data replication which System i customers may find interesting is the increasing use of *noMAX to enable zero downtime when undertaking the important task of hardware migration.

Businesses that need to migrate to new System i hardware are today not just focused on the cost - but also the peace of mind to do this - which is what *noMAX can deliver

If you are interested in finding out more about how *noMAX has successfully worked with major corporates in the region to ensure that their hardware migration goes without a hitch, or just want to know how best to protect your business from costly downtime and data loss, let us know by calling 1800 777 111.

Talking about Green, my dear Nigel had a Green experience awhile ago. He had a bad shellfish at our favourite seafood restaurant and he hasn’t been able to look our goldfish in the eye since. I didn’t realise that someone could actually turn that particular shade of puce.

And more recently when our neighbour pulled up in his driveway with his brand new 4WD.

It was a beautiful deep sea green colour, which paled in comparison to the green my dear Nigel turned out of pure envy. However Nigel was laughing on the other side of his face when they both turned up at the petrol station. Our neighbour in his 300horsepower 3tonne giant which uses 30 litres/100km going downhill with a 100 knot tailwind, and my Nigel with his company hybrid which coughs if it sniffs any more than a teaspoon of fuel at a time.

To be quite honest, I appreciate the extra dollars that Nigel has left in his pocket as it means he can spoil me that little bit more!

Yours truly,
Jade!

Dear Jade,

Thanks for your letter. Green by name, green by nature!

Aren’t men funny beasts! It sounds like you have a gem (can I suggest Emerald?) in Nigel. Look after him, won’t you! The benefits of using the right tool for the job are many and various. New clothes, dining out, jewellery…flowers! - versus spending big money on purchases and maintenance of oversized and overspecialised giants.

If I was the boss of my home (and I think you are!) I know which option I’d prefer!

Virtualise this, virtualise that!

The term has been passed around like a hot potato and many of you may just be secretly hoping it doesn’t land in your lap.

Sure, virtualisation may be fine in theory but what does it really mean for your company’s infrastructure? Don’t worry, there’s no chance of getting burned - as certified VMware resellers we will help manage the project for you!

So what does that mean?

Let’s go through some of the basics of what we can do:

• Hardware sizing and procurement where we spec appropriate servers from your existing server footprint while providing for expected future requirements and growth.
• VMware licensing and ongoing support to fit your virtualisation needs
• Ensuring all hardware has the latest firmware updates
• Bare metal installation of VMware clients
• P2V (Physical to Virtual) migrations where your existing servers are transferred into their respective VMs.

We will even set you up with VMware training courses whether it’s basic administration or specific areas you want to focus your abilities on.

Yes, we manage it to the point where your previous server sprawl is migrated and running on new hardware with VMware so you can sit back and start to see the savings roll in.

Call us on 1800 777 111 to get the ball rolling on virtualisation.

Active Energy Manager (formally IBM Director PowerExecutive) measures, monitors, and manages the energy components built into IBM systems enabling a cross-platform management solution. Active Energy Manager is an extension of IBM Director that supports BladeCenter, POWER Systems and System x servers.

It also provides a source of energy management data that can be exploited by Tivoli enterprise solutions such as Tivoli Monitoring and Tivoli Usage and Accounting Manager. Active Energy Manager is a key component of IBM’s Cool Blue portfolio within Project Big Green.

This solution helps customers monitor energy consumption to allow better utilization of available energy resources. The application software enables customers to trend actual energy consumption and corresponding thermal loading of IBM Systems running in their environment with their applications.

Active Energy Manager has other advantages as well

• It’s the only energy management software tool that can provide a single view of the actual power usage across multiple platforms
• It increases energy efficiency by controlling power use across the data centre
• It can limit server power consumption by capping maximum power consumption
• It can improve energy efficiency resulting in substantial savings and cost reductions
• It offers out of the box management for single IBM systems while being able to provide a cross environment view of power and thermal usage within an IT shop
• Plan for the future by viewing trends of power usage over time
• Monitor and report actual power usage and thermal information
• Use power trending to assist in better data centre decision making.

Active Energy Manager is a cornerstone of IBM’s Project Big Green initiative.

Many organisations with personal devices like printers have cupboards full of ink and toners. We tend to order them in bulk for convenience rather than a need to save on cost. When the printers etc are replaced or removed, these consumables are left sitting on the shelves creating a stock problem with environmental consequences and recycling issues.

Ensuring that printer and copier fleets are managed via consolidation of models and supply management can help manage the environmental impact of printing.

A few things to look for when purchasing devices are:

• energy usage,
• supply chain consumption, and
• work flow processes.

The legislation is important for governments, business, and the Australian community by:

• Providing robust data to underpin the environmental and financial integrity of Australia’s national emissions trading scheme
• Reducing the number of greenhouse and energy reports required across State, Territory and Australian Government programs
• Providing corporate level information to the public on greenhouse and energy performance of Australian corporations for the first time.

Do I need to report now?

Corporations who might meet thresholds and aren’t already collecting greenhouse gas emissions and energy data should begin collating that information and keeping records from 1 July 2008. Most corporations likely to be affected by the legislation have systems or processes in place for reporting under mandatory or voluntary government programs or to meet investor or shareholder demands.

Although data collection should begin now, Corporations have until 31 October 2009 to submit their report under the Act.

Who needs to report?

From 1 July 2008, corporations will be required to register and report for the 2008-2009 financial year if:

• They control a facility that emits 25 kilotonnes or more of greenhouse gases (CO2 equivalent), or produce or consume 100 terajoules or more of energy; or
• Their corporate group emits 125 kilotonnes or more greenhouse gases (CO2 equivalent), or produces or consume 500 terajoules or more of energy.
• Lower thresholds for corporate groups will be phased in by 2010-11. The final thresholds will be 50 kilotonnes of greenhouse gases (CO2 equivalent) or 200 terajoules of energy.

An online calculator is available to help corporations assess if they are likely to meet thresholds.

What is the coverage?

By the 2010-11 reporting period the legislation is expected to cover around 700 medium and large corporations. The reporting system will improve data coverage to over 70% of greenhouse gas emissions in the covered sectors. Greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture, land use, land use change and forestry activities will not be included until methodologies for reporting at the facility and corporation level are sufficiently developed.
