Get to Carbon Neutral Faster and Easier
The demand for computing power and digital services is exploding. In the last decade, global internet traffic increased ten-fold and data center storage capacity increased by a factor of 25.
Bill Back Business Units and Customers for the Energy Used
Today, it’s becoming more common for organizations to have green data center initiatives to drive energy-efficient behaviors both from internal and external customers.
Consider Data Center Consolidation and Virtualization
If your data center infrastructure is outdated or your data center’s utilization of space, power, and cooling resources is inefficient, you stand to benefit greatly from consolidation and virtualization efforts that will decrease the number of physical assets you have and the associated resources they consume.
Identify and decommission ghost servers and power hogs
Up to 30% of servers may be “ghost servers” or “zombies”—idle servers that are physically running and consuming energy but are not performing any useful functions.
Minimize Bypass Airflow
Cooling accounts for about half a data center’s energy consumption, so improving the efficiency of your cooling infrastructure is critical for improving overall efficiency. One often-overlooked way to achieve this is by optimizing airflow.
Implement Hot/Cold Aisle Containment
Ceiling panels and doors enclose the hot aisle between rows of cabinets so that warm exhaust air can be separated and returned to the cooling system. Implement a data center containment strategy where cold supply air from cooling units is separated from the hot exhaust air from IT equipment.
Track data centre sustainability metrics
Most data centre professionals are familiar with Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE), which is the ratio of total facility energy to total IT equipment energy. The closer to 1.0 your PUE is, the more efficient your data centre is.
Reducing Your Data Centre Carbon Footprint
Deploy a complete data center management solution to dramatically reduce energy consumption and drive sustainability.
As data centers continue to require more energy to keep up with the demand of modern consumers and businesses, so too does the spotlight as customers, governments, and industry regulators increasingly push for increased sustainability and social responsibility.
WHY?
Because it provides:
- access to accurate, actionable data about the current state and future needs of your data center
- standard procedures for equipment changes
- better predictability for space, power and cooling capacity means increased time for more productive work
- supports asset lifecycle including planning, purchasing, storage, staging, installing, and discarding including parts and spares.
- single source of truth for asset management
- the ability to instantly see how much capacity is used and how much is available for improved capacity planning
- Faster and more accurate Implementation making the benefits accrue quicker
