White Paper

Description:
A number of associations, consultants and vendors have promoted best practices for enhancing data center energy efficiency. These practices cover everything from facility lighting to cooling system design, and have proven useful in helping some companies slow or reverse the trend of rising data center energy consumption. However, most organizations still lack a cohesive, holistic approach for reducing data center energy use. This paper shows how Energy Logic can deliver a 50 percent or greater reduction in data center energy consumption without compromising performance or availability.

The double impact of rising data center energy consumption and rising energy costs has elevated the importance of data center efficiency as a strategy to reduce costs, manage capacity and promote environmental responsibility.

Data center energy consumption has been driven by the demand within almost every organization for greater computing capacity and increased IT centralization. While this was occurring, global electricity prices increased 56 percent between 2002 and 2006.

The financial implications are significant; estimates of annual power costs for U.S. data centers now range as high as $3.3 billion.
