Excerpt from The Quest for Efficiency:
Rising costs have data center managers searching for new ways to increase efficiency. Finding the most expedient solutions for efficiency will depend on factors like budget, space considerations, location, power and cooling options. Some of the alternatives available that involve software, hardware and combined solutions include:
• Utilizing the right software power management and monitoring system
• Centralizing data center cooling
• Designing for efficiency
• Planning for future space requirements
• Using virtualization and distributed networks
• Utilizing onsite power generation
• Analyzing life cycle costs
“Of course, everyone’s goals are to increase efficiency while minimizing costs,” added Todd. “Identifying ways to optimize venting, humidity control, and free cooling are just a few of the solutions to achieve these goals.”
