SEC. 3. DEFINITIONS.

In this Act:
(1) Federal data center optimization initiative.--The term
''Federal Data Center Optimization Initiative'' means the
initiative developed and implemented pursuant to section 4.
(2) Covered agency.--The term ''covered agency'' means any
agency included in the Federal Data Center Optimization
Initiative pursuant to section 8.
(3) Federal chief information officer.--The term ''Federal
Chief Information Officer'' means the chief information officer
of the Office of Management and Budget.
(4) Data center.--The term ''data center'' means any room
that is devoted to data processing servers, including server
closets (typically less than 200 square feet) and server rooms
(typically less than 500 square feet), within a conventional
building, and larger spaces in any building dedicated to
housing servers, storage devices, and network equipment, but
the term does not include facilities that are exclusively
devoted to communications and network equipment (such as
telephone exchanges) and telecommunications rooms and closets.
(5) Desktop virtualization.--The term ''desktop
virtualization'' means any technology that creates a virtual
version of an information technology device or resource and is
used to separate a computer desktop environment from the
physical computer.
(6) Virtualization.--The term ''virtualization'' means the
simulation of the software or hardware, or both, upon which
other software runs which allows servers to be consolidated in
ratios of 5:1 up to 25:1. The use of virtualization technology
is both an instrumental and necessary component to achieve
increases in server utilization rates. This simulated
environment is called a virtual machine (VM).
(7) Federal data center.--The term ''Federal data center''
means any data center of a covered agency used or operated by a
covered agency, by a contractor of a covered agency, or by
another organization on behalf of a covered agency.
(8) Power utilization effectiveness.--The term ''power
utilization effectiveness'' means the ratio obtained by
dividing the total amount of electricity and other power
consumed in running a data center by the power consumed by the
information and communications technology in the data center.
(9) Server utilization.--The term ''server utilization''
refers to the activity level of a server relative to its
maximum activity level during peek hours of operation,
expressed as a percentage.
(10) Cloud computing.--The term ''cloud computing'', as
defined by National Institute of Standards and Technology,
means a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand
network access to a shared pool of configurable computing
resources (such as networks, servers, storage, applications,
and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with
minimal management effort or service provider interaction. The
model is composed of the following:
(A) Five essential characteristics, which are on-
demand service, broad network access, resource pooling,
rapid elasticity, and measured service.
(B) Three service models, which are software as a
service, platform as a service, and infrastructure as a
service.
(C) Four deployment models, which are private
cloud, community cloud, public cloud, and hybrid cloud.

SEC. 4. FEDERAL DATA CENTER OPTIMIZATION INITIATIVE.

(a) Requirement for Initiative.--The Federal Chief Information
Officer, in consultation with the chief information officers of covered
agencies, shall develop and implement an initiative to optimize the
usage and efficiency of Federal data centers by meeting the
requirements of this Act and taking additional measures, as
appropriate.
(b) Requirement for Plan.--Within 6 months after the date of the
enactment of this Act, the Federal Chief Information Officer, in
consultation with the chief information officers of covered agencies,
shall develop and submit to Congress a consolidated plan for
implementation of the initiative by each agency. The agency
consolidation plans must include descriptions of how agencies will use
reductions in floor space, energy use, infrastructure, equipment,
applications, personnel, increases in multiorganizational use, and
other appropriate methods to meet the requirements of the initiative.
The agency consolidation plans must also be included in, and consistent
with, the President's annual budget submission materials, including the
detailed budget justifications and appropriations estimates.

SEC. 5. PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS RELATED TO DATA CENTER CONSOLIDATION.

(a) Server Utilization.--
(1) 75 percent.--Each covered agency shall meet or exceed
75 percent average server utilization in agency data centers by
2015.
(2) Methods to achieve requirement.--Each covered agency
shall use the following methods to meet the requirement in
paragraph (1):
(A) The closing of existing data centers that have
an average server utilization of under 65 percent. If
the agency fails to close data centers with a
utilization of under 65 percent, the agency must
provide a detailed explanation as to why this data
center should remain in use as part of the submitted
plan. The Federal Chief Information Officer will
include an assessment of the agency explanation in the
annual report to Congress.
(B) The use of virtualization technology to achieve
the consolidation of services within existing data
centers to increase server utilization rates.
(C) Shifting to a ''cloud first'' policy, under
which agencies shall use one or more of the following:
(i) Use commercial cloud technologies where
feasible and cost effective by migrating agency
data and government-provided services from
agency owned and operated data centers to cloud
computing services generally available with the
private sector.
(ii) Launch private government cloud
services within an agency, or share resources
across several agencies where more feasible and
cost-effective in comparison to use of public
cloud services.
(iii) Use regional clouds with State and
local governments where appropriate.
(D) The consolidation of data centers across
agencies.
(E) Other methods identified by chief information
offices of the agencies and the Federal Chief
Information Officer.
(b) Power Utilization Effectiveness.--Each covered agency shall
achieve an average power utilization effectiveness for its data centers
of 1.2 or less by 2015.
(c) Power Metering.--
(1) This Act authorizes a pilot program be established at
the Department of Defense aimed at researching innovative ways
to achieve full metering.
(2) The covered agency must establish other methods to
obtain accurate data to measure power utilization effectiveness
subject to the approval of the Federal Chief Information
Officer.
(d) Desktop Virtualization.--Each covered agency shall use desktop
virtualization with existing workstations to the extent that is
practicable, to save equipment replacement costs and improve the
security posture of enpoint devices by migrating end user data from the
device into the private cloud of the agency.
(e) Efficient Information Technology.--Each covered agency shall
give high priority to replacement of data center servers and other
information technology equipment with more efficient equipment, using a
baseline including the physical to virtual consolidation ratio and
other criteria developed by the Federal Chief Information Officer in
consultation with agency chief information officers.
