Reduce Data Center operation costs in your data
center or server room by improving
energy efficiency and implementing power and cooling
best practices

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.
