Energy Logic: Calculating and Prioritizing Your Data Center IT Efficiency Actions The analysis shows that while energy consumption in data centers nearly doubled in the last five years, data center compute output increased seven-fold, and data center efficiency increased eight-fold over the same period. Energy Efficient Cooling Solutions for Data Centers The cooling system accounts for 38 percent of data center energy consumption and is a primary target for energy efficiency improvements. In this white paper, Emerson Network Power looks at cooling system technologies that can substantially reduce the data center electricity bill. Five Strategies for Cutting Data Center Energy Costs Through Enhanced Cooling Efficiency As electricity prices and IT power consumption continue to rise, IT-related energy costs are getting increased scrutiny. This white paper presents five strategies for increasing data center cooling efficiency and reducing IT energy costs. Energy Logic: Reducing Data Center Energy Consumption by Creating Savings that Cascade Across Systems Strategies for enhancing data center energy efficiency cover everything from facility lighting to cooling system design, but most organizations still lack a cohesive, holistic approach for reducing data center energy use. In this white paper, Emerson Network Power introduces Energy Logic, a 10-step roadmap to achieving a 50 percent reduction in data center energy consumption. Using Virtualization and Digital Control Technologies to Increase Data Center Operating Efficiency Data center, IT and facility professionals find themselves battling increasing IT power needs at a time of rising energy costs. This paper describes how real-time, historical and predictive information—combined with server virtualization, a service-oriented architecture and digital power and operating system controls—can optimize operating efficiencies.
