Efficiency is Important
But everything is relative right?

Only source of energy loss is with UPS Consumes 5% or less of the total datacenter energy pie Vendors who only sell UPS tend to overstate significance of potential savings ICT professionals won’t compromise For the past 5 years, Emerson has surveyed ICT professionals via DCUG Respondents have consistently said that they will not compromise Availability for the sake of improved Efficiency  Line Interactive Vs On Line Technology Transformer Vs Transformer-less How does that play today re “the Energy and Carbon” discussion Focus on Availability rated as the most significant “barrier” to reducing energy consumption A different approach to the question, but the same answer Re Affirms the purpose of ICT systems in business They are a critical enabler of business mission The riposte is that a ultra efficient system is not much use if its not available!
