A recent IDC study reveals power/cooling to be the top challenge facing data centers today. With that in mind, we feature in this month's issue of Network News a whitepaper that showcases how facility managers are trying to reduce data center costs by controlling power consumption. According to EPA, the power consumption costs of a data center can account for as much as 30 percent of a company's IT budget. Any measure to cut power consumption in the data center can contribute significantly to lowering OPEX.
We’re down to the last month of fiscal year 2011 here at Emerson, and while we’ll have more end-of-year stats and figures to share with you in forthcoming issues, I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you, dear readers, for your continued support and interest in Network News! If there are new features/topics you’d like us to pay specific focus on, please do not hesitate to suggest it. We would love to hear from you.
Cheers,

Understanding Power Distribution is Key to Lowering Consumption
As data centers strive to become highly available as well as efficient, an important aspect of the entire data center infrastructure that needs special attention is their power distribution strategy. Traditional ways of distributing power to the racks are being constantly challenged with power densities as well as power consumption costs among data centers constantly rising.
A recent study conducted by IDC found that the number one challenge facing data centers today is power/cooling. In this study, more than half of the respondents is taking a serious look at how to reduce data center costs by controlling power consumption. In addition, an EPA study mentioned that the power consumption costs of a data center can account for as much as 30 percent of a company’s IT budget. More |
