Quick Start Guide to Increase
Data Center Energy

How To Start

A Problem That You Can Fix
Data Center energy efficiency is derived from addressing
BOTH your hardware equipment AND your infrastructure.

Commit to Improved Design and Operations

Typically, a central cooling plant and air handlers are more efficient than distributed air conditioning units. Begin with an efficient water cooled variable speed chiller, add high efficiency air handlers, low-pressure drop components, and finish with an integrated control system that minimizes unnecessary dehumidification and simultaneous heating and cooling.

• Benchmark existing facilities

Use temperature resets to allow use of medium-temperature chilled water
(55 degrees Fahrenheit or higher). Warmer chilled water improves chiller plant efficiency and eliminates the need for the chiller during many hours of operation (tower cooling).

• Continuously monitor energy and environmental conditions

• Document design intent

Less than half the power used by a typical data centers powers its IT equipment. Where does the other half go? To support infrastructure including cooling systems, UPS inefficiencies, power distribution losses and lighting. Why does this matter?

• Introduce energy optimization early in the design process
• Use life-cycle total cost of ownership analysis

• By 2012, the power costs for the data center equipment over its useful life will exceed the cost of the original capital investment.

• Re-commission as a regular part of maintenance

• By 2020, the carbon footprint of data centers will exceed the airline industry • Empower IT and facilities staff to work together

    The evolution of the Ethernet standards will have a large effect on data storage requirements. As the speeds of these connections continue to increase, users and businesses will be able to transfer larger files faster and will required larger data storage to accommodate the increased demand of resources. Thirty years ago, when the standard was only 10MB, there was nowhere near the need for the data storage capacity as there is today, with the current standard being 100 Gbit, with 1 Tbit on the way. Data storage wasn’t as high in demand before because it would take an extremely long amount of time to transfer large files, but as the speed increases, so will the demand.…

    Ericsson was able to instantly take advantage of Amazon’s resources. Amazon’s AWS is able to build and manage a global infrastructure to the scale Ericsson needed to support their business. This infrastructure already being in place provides a cost savings benefit. They had the ability to deploy new applications and automated software updates instantly because they were able to scale up and down as demand changed or the business required it. They could access their cloud from anywhere thanks to the freedom of remote access. The web services provided Ericsson with a highly reliable, scalable, low-cost infrastructure platform with data center locations in the U.S., Europe, Singapore, and Japan. The company chose Amazon Web Services (AWS) because they felt AWS was the most integrated public cloud provider in the Rightscale Cloud Management Platform (Rightscale). “The Ericsson team states that having hosting centers in various regions was important for them. AWS also showed a better quality of service with solid management and a proven track record.” (Amazon Web Services, 2012)…

    Advantage Energy

    Brian Smith, network administrator at Advanced Energy Technology (AET),has been given the responsibility of implementing the migration of a large data center to a new office location. Careful planning is needed because AET operates in the highly competitive petroleum industry. AET is one of five national software companies that provide an accounting and business management package for oil jobbers and gasoline distributors. A few years ago, AET jumped into the “application service provider” world. Their large data center provides clients with remote access to AET’s complete suite of application software systems. Traditionally, one of AET’s primary competitive advantages has been the company’s trademark IT reliability. Due to the complexity of this project, Brian will have to use a parallel method of implementation. Although this will increase project costs, a parallel approach is essential if reliability is not to be compromised.…
