Sun Microsystems Technology Brief Sample

Highlights

• Accurately measuring power consumption in today’s data centers is difficult because datac enters are in constant change. This makes it a challenge to pin down the impact of energy efficiency improvements.
• Workloads fluctuate depending on human activity, adding to the challenge of obtaining accurate power-consumption metrics.
• SunSM Eco Services measures at a higher level rather than attempting to measure each individual device’s power consumption. This helps build a statistical model that can be used to predict and track the impact of energy-efficiency changes.
• Sun’s approach gives timely, cost-effective measurements that can be used to motivate efficiency improvements, which can save companies both power and real estate expenses.
