If you are concerned with data center
energy efficiency, dealing with power and cooling capacity
issues, need to understand the total life cycle costs
of your data center assets or manage your rapidly rising
energy bills, you are not alone. With the cost of energy
skyrocketing at the same time that user demand for more
performance is increasing, Facilities and IT managers
are facing a power, space and cost crunch. Some data
center managers have already reported that the cost
of electricity and cooling in the data center are exceeding
the cost of the equipment itself. IDC estimates for
every $1.00 spent on new data center hardware, an additional
$0.50 is spent on power and cooling, more than double
the amount of five years ago. According to Gartner,
70 percent of CIO's are reporting that power and/or
cooling issues are now their single largest problem
in the data center. Gartner estimates that 50 percent
of data centers in 2008 will have insufficient power
and cooling capacity to meet demand with 48 percent
of the data center budget being spent on energy, up
from 8 percent a few years ago.
42U helps data center managers gain a holistic understanding
of their current environment. Our vendor agnostic approach
utilizes airflow analysis, power monitoring and measurement,
cooling best practices, and the leading efficient technologies
to help improve your energy efficiency, reduce power
consumption and lower your energy utilization and costs.
