Best Practices for Building an Energy Efficient Data Center
More than 50% of power going into a typical data center goes to the power and cooling systems...NOT to the IT loads. And, data center designers can reduce electrical bills by about $1000 annually for every kilowatt saved.
Find out how business requirements, pressures and IT initiatives such as virtualization can cause problems and place additional burdens on data center designers and operators to maximize efficiency. Obtain an understanding of the primary drivers of data center inefficiency along with possible solutions and remedies that may provide a rapid ROI.
These challenges along with an explanation of the two ratings for measuring data center efficiency, the Power Utilization Effectiveness (PUE) and Data Center Infrastructure Efficiency (DCIE) will be addressed.
You will learn:
- How to identify power and cooling design and operation issues that compromise efficiency
- The elements of a highly efficient power architecture
- Solutions for high density and efficient cooling architectures through the use of close-coupled cooling
- About increasing cooling efficiency through Water-Side and Air-Side Economizers
- How to manage efficiency through Capacity and Change Management
