Reducing Operation Costs of your Data Center
Total Cost of Ownership. Return on Investment.
Operating Costs. It used to be that a data
center was measured almost exclusively on
uptime. Today, managers are being asked
to balance uptime and reliability with these
fiscal measurements, while evaluating increasingly
complex infrastructure solutions that blur
the traditional lines between IT and Facilities.
Many organizations are starting to look
at improvements in energy efficiency to
help lower their overall operating expense,
and the data center is a clear target for
these initiatives. This trend is particularly
attractive when you consider that the average
data center is spending more than 30% of
its IT budget on power and cooling.
Saving energy not only helps an organization
be more competitive in a global marketplace.
It also helps the environment by reducing
the businesses carbon footprint. The result?
By using less energy, data centers can reduce
costs and improve their public image.
Fortunately, organizations don’t have to build
a new data center, or invest in costly hardware,
to improve efficiencies. Consider the following:
- Have you evaluated the existing airflow
in your server room to assess potential blockages
or misdirection?
- Do you live in an area where you can leverage
airside economizers?
- Do you have floor openings that are inhibiting
the static pressure under your raised floor?
- Do you know how much power your data center
actually needs?
- How are you currently measuring the efficiency
of your data center?
Corporations need to intelligently allocate resources
and get the most from their existing infrastructure.
Optimizing your current environment will help you
reclaim precious capacity and may allow you to delay,
or even avoid, the time and expense required to
build a new data center -- saving money and achieving
immediate cost savings.
